Add comments to a graph

Use Sticky Notes to add comments to a graph. Sticky Notes can:

  • Describe how a section of your graph works.
  • Leave a note for yourself or others who might work on your Unity project.

You can add text to the title and body of a Sticky Note. You can use Sticky Notes in Script Graphs and State Graphs.

An image of the Graph window. The Graph Inspector is open. An On Update node triggers a Set Variable node, which sets the value of an Application variable named Gold. The value of Gold is set by an Add Inputs node, which takes the current value of Gold from a Get Variable node and adds 1. A Sticky Note has been added to the graph, and states that "To Do: Change the graph so Gold updates at more random intervals."
