Flow graph data format and storage


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:

  1. Open the flow graph window and build the example flow graph as shown in the preceding screenshot.

  2. Select all the nodes of your flow graph.

  3. Select the selection/export option from the context...
