BlackboardKey

struct

Core/Vixen.Ai/Blackboard/BlackboardLayout.cs:16

csharp

public readonly record struct BlackboardKey

Which key of a layout, as the two bytes a compiled node actually stores.

Read the guide page for this →

Remarks

A node references a key by index, never by name: the name is a Symbol that survives for the inspector, the diagnostics and the file format, and nothing in a frame reads it. That is also why a rename in the editor rewrites every reference in the open document — the compiled form has no name to rename.

Fields and properties (3)

public ushort Index
Its position in the layout.
public static BlackboardKey Invalid
The key that names nothing.
public bool IsValid
Whether this names a key.

Methods (2)

public BlackboardKey(ushort Index)
Which key of a layout, as the two bytes a compiled node actually stores.
public override string ToString()
Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance.
