Properties

The Props tab is the outline of the current script. Everything you create here becomes something you can place or navigate on the canvas.

The Props tab: the States category with the start badge, and the Variables category with their types.

Categories

Four collapsible categories, each with a New … button:

Category	Button	What it holds
States	New State	The machine. Each row shows a start badge and has its own New Substate
Macros	New Macro	Reusable pieces of state machine
Functions	New Function	Named lists of steps
Variables	New Variable	Values the script keeps, each row showing a type badge

A search field filters the list.

Working with items

• Left-click a row → go to that item. A state focuses it on the canvas; a function or a macro opens its own route, and the route bar shows where you are.
• Right-click a row → the inspector popup, titled with the item’s name, with a red Delete in the corner. Delete is undoable and asks first.

A variable created here is available to every action field, either as a binding or as the place an action stores its result.

Editing a variable

The variable popup: type, export flag, default value and name, with Delete in the corner.

• Type: searchable, and it drives which fields the variable can feed.
• Is Export: exposes the variable in Godot’s inspector on the node that carries the script.
• Default Value: what it holds before anything writes to it.
• Name: renaming updates every action that reads the variable.
• Delete: any action still pointing at it reports an error.

Functions and macros

Both own a canvas of their own, and both are set up from the same popup: Name, Inputs, Outputs (functions only), Branches, and for a macro also Entries, the named places its machine leaves for each use to fill.

The guided path builds one of each, with the whole story behind them: Functions and Macros.

Tip

Create your states here, then fill them on the canvas by clicking the cells on their entry node. See Actions on a state.
