API Reference GE Extensions editor flowgraph Flowgraph Properties Flowgraph Properties panel for inspecting and editing selected node data, pin configurations, hardcoded values, custom properties, and graph metadata.
Flowgraph Properties panel for inspecting and editing selected node data, pin configurations, hardcoded values, custom properties, and graph metadata.
fg_properties is the main inspector for the flowgraph editor. When a single node is selected, it shows the node header (with customizable name, icon, color), custom properties, data fields, and detailed input/output pin lists. Pins can be hidden, hardcoded to constant values, retyped, renamed (if custom), reordered, and deleted. When no node is selected, it shows graph properties (name, description, type, children, parent). Supports all flowgraph data types: number, string, bool, vec3, quat, color (including vehicle 8-component color), and table.
