Show Editor (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Show Editor
• Category: once_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/hideEditor.lua

Shows or hides the World Editor. Despite the filename hideEditor, the node is named "Show Editor" and accepts a boolean to control visibility.

Deferred Execution

The node defers the actual editor toggle to _afterTrigger() rather than doing it in workOnce(). This ensures the editor state change happens after the current flowgraph trigger pass completes, avoiding potential issues with the editor interfering with flowgraph execution.

How It Works

1. workOnce() reads value and stores it.
2. After the trigger pass, _afterTrigger() checks if editor.active differs from the desired state.
3. If different, calls editor.setEditorActive(value) to toggle.

Usage Example

-- Show the world editor:
editor.setEditorActive(true)

-- Hide the world editor:
editor.setEditorActive(false)

-- In a flowgraph, connect a Bool provider to the value pin
-- to control editor visibility based on game logic.

Key Dependencies

• editor.active - current editor visibility state
• editor.setEditorActive() - toggles the World Editor
