Groups

Some strategies contain logic that is useful in more than one place. In Structure, that logic can be packaged into groups.

Group definitions

Section titled “Group definitions”

Group definitions are available when the context menu is opened outside a container node.

Creating a group definition from the context menu outside a source event container.

Inside the group definition, you define the group’s input and output interface and place nodes just like in a regular source event graph.

A group definition where the user defines inputs, outputs, and graph nodes.

Group imports

Section titled “Group imports”

Group imports are available inside a source event container or another group definition.

Placing a group import from the context menu inside a source event container or another group definition.

Group imports are placed like regular functions. The user must pick the group the import refers to and can then hook it to other nodes like any other graph node.

A group import node configured to refer to a group and connected to other nodes in the graph.

Practical takeaway

Section titled “Practical takeaway”

Use a group definition when you want to package reusable graph logic once, and use group imports when you want to reuse that logic inside a source event or another group.
