    2. A tab labeled (No Type) will be added, click on it and select class you need.(The Nodes below are all the classes needed to run all the tutorials.)
      • [Toio]
        • CONNECTION_STATUS
        • Cube
        • Cube Handle
        • Cube Manager
        • Movement - [Toio]->[Visual Scripting]

  4. Click [Regenerate Nodes].

If the message 「Regenerates Nodes Completed」 is displayed, the configuration to make the toio SDK for Unity available for use with Visual Scripting is complete.



＊How to Add [Connect Type]

When adding a node, a search for Connect Type will display “Connect Type (in Toio)” as shown in the image below, and the node will appear as if it were placed in the [Toio] list.


However, there is no [Connect Type] node in the [Toio] list.

This is due to the fact that the type of Connect Type is Enum, but programmatically belongs to the list [Toio]. The [Connect Type] in the [Enums] list and the [Connect Type (in Toio)] when searching by Connect Type are the same node, so it does not matter which method you use to add it.

4. Run and test Sample of Visual Scripting

You have completed the necessary work to use Visual Scripting, run the sample of Visual Scripting version.

Move to Assets/toio-sdk/Tutorials/1.Basic/0.BasicScene/ and Open 0.BasicScene with double click

Click [scene] on hierarchy.On the inspector, uncheck the check box of [Basic Scene (Script)] and check the check box of [Script Machine].

Now the samples that were running in C# will run in Visual Scripting.

Click on the play button on the editor to see if the cube moves the same way as the C# version.

Once confirmed, you are ready to run the toio SDK for Unity with Visual Scripting.
