One of the more difficult things to understand when working with flow graphs is the way they are created and stored. While the actual data structure of a flow graph is relatively simple, understanding the way it is stored can be a bit more difficult.
Let's first have a look at how the data format of the flow graph looks. A rather simple flow graph should suffice for this example as shown in the following screenshot:
In order to look at the flow graph data format you need to create a simple example flow graph. The flow graph depicted in the preceding screenshot uses a Misc:Start node to trigger a Movement:MoveEntityTo node, which then moves an entity to the position of a tag point.
Let's build this flow graph and then export it to an XML file by performing the following steps:
