Graph View

Build and debug behaviors visually using nodes in the Graph View:

Right click the canvas to add nodes:

#	Node	Description
	FSM	The top-level container that defines a Finite State Machine.
	State	A unit of behavior that runs actions and responds to events.
	Transition	Moves from one state to another in response to an event.
	Comment	Use to annotate your graph with helpful notes.
	Group	Organize related states visually. Resize to include nodes. Drag nodes out to un-group.
	Image	Display reference images to aid design. Images are not included in builds.

Navigation

Middle-mouse-drag to pan the view.

Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

Selecting Nodes

Click or Drag a marquee to select nodes.

Ctrl to add/remove item in the selection.

Moving Nodes

Drag already selected nodes to move them. The view auto-scrolls when you drag near edges.

Snapping guides help you position nodes relative to other nodes. Hold Shift to override the current snapping mode.

Resizing Nodes

Resizable nodes can be resized by dragging their frames. A resizing cursor will indicate when this is possible.

Some resizable nodes have a context menu option to "Fit Contents." Use this to auto size the node to its contents.

Inspector

Select a node to view and edit its properties in the Inspector.

Each node type has its own set of inspector options. See the following pages:

• FSM Node
• Region Node
• State Node
• Transition Node

Right-click everything!

Many nodes have right-click context menus with useful shortcuts and actions.

Shortcuts

Navigation

Shortcut	Action
A	Frame all nodes.
F	Frame selected nodes. Frames all nodes if none are selected.
Home	Select and frame the Start State.
Page Up	Select parent node. E.g. select a transition's parent state.
Page Down	Select child node. E.g., select first transition in a state.
Left Right Up Down	Select closest node in that direction.

Creating FSMs and States

Shortcut	Target	Action
Alt+Click	Empty Graph	Add a new PlayMaker FSM to the selected GameObject. If no GameObject is selected, a new one is created and the FSM added to it.
Alt+Click	Canvas	Add a new state.
Alt+Click	State	Add a transition.
Alt+Drag	Transition	Drag from a transition to create a new target state.

Editing Nodes

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+A	Select all nodes.
Ctrl+C	Copy selected nodes.
Ctrl+X	Cut selected nodes.
Ctrl+V	Paste copied nodes.
Ctrl+D	Duplicate selected nodes.
Double Click	Edit the node’s name.

Drag Focus

While dragging items, hover over an editor tab or node to focus it.
This makes it easier to drag and drop between nodes.
