Hello,

Thanks a lot for getting NC! I am really glad you like it! 🙂
No apologies need at all! Let me address your questions/requests in order:

1. There was a search function, but due to recent wordpress update, I’ve temporary disabled it. I will re-enable forum search ASAP though.

2. The reason that ActionList is not added by default, is absolutely for performance reasons for in case the action list only has 1 action within in the end. Instead of deleting the action, you could first Copy the action, then delete it. Then, add Action List and finally Paste the previous action. The “Paste” command can be found at the end of the menu that pops up when clicking the “Add Action Task” (same for conditions of course).
Having Action Lists by default has been previously requested, so I will see if I can find some quicker way of replacing a single action with an action list. Probably though the right click context menu of a single action would be good. I’ll take a look at this soon 🙂

3. That’s a really nice idea. I will take a look at this very soon!

4. Custom coloring nodes is something I’d prefer to avoid for two reasons. One being that I’d prefer to keep a consistent look and the other being that it’s pain to handle for 2 different themes (Unity indie, Unity pro). Having said that, I will see it coloring the icons (instead of nodes as a whole) looks ok and implement that if so.

5. I will see if I can make the lines auto increase depending on the text. If not, I will increase the lines, yes.

6. Well, the ExecuteFunction can only work with methods/properties of Component types. While the ExecuteStaticFunction can work with any type, the Split method is not static, thus why the Split method does not show in any of the two actions. The ability for ExecuteFunction to work with any type, is something that is already in my TODO list high up the queue. So, in short, right now doing a string.Split is unfortunately not possible through the ScriptControl reflection tasks. Sorry 🙂

7. The “Paste” option is shown in the menu shown when clicking the “Add Action Task”, at the bottom. Do you suggest a “Paste” in action right click menu as to replace it?

8. Not right now, but that’s a good idea. I was once thinking of using Trello, but I’d prefer keeping everything within the website, so a sticky post can work for that 🙂

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions! I will do my best to implement your requests.
