Stars Active (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Stars Active
• Category: repeat_instant
• Tags: activity, mission
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/activity/starsActive.lua

Lets flow through if stars with specific keys are active. Only lets flow through if the mission is played in career mode.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

Custom flow output pins are allowed (allowCustomOutPins = true). Each custom pin corresponds to a star key - outputs true if that star is active and enabled.

Behavior

• init() - Enables savePins and allowCustomOutPins for dynamic star-based outputs.
• _executionStarted() - Resets cached active stars data.
• work() - On each frame:
  • If flow is active, retrieves the mission's active stars (cached after first call for performance).
  • Gets the mission from self.mgr.activity, unflattens user settings, and calls gameplay_missions_missionScreen.getActiveStarsForUserSettings().
  • For each custom flow output pin, sets its value to whether the corresponding star is enabled.
  • If flow is not active, all output pins are set to false.

Key Dependencies

• gameplay_missions_missionScreen.getActiveStarsForUserSettings() - retrieves star activation info
• self.mgr.activity - the current mission context

Notes

• Stars data is fetched once per execution and cached (self.activeStars) because the lookup is expensive.
• Custom output pins should be named to match star keys in the mission.
