Unigine.NodeExtern Class

Inherits from: Node

NodeExtern is a custom user-defined node created via API. The NodeExtern class is a wrapper for implementation of a custom node class inherited from the NodeExternBase class.

A NodeExtern node is created when the engine loads an instance of the custom node class. It can also be created directly by using the class constructor with a custom node class ID as an argument. In both cases, the NodeExtern node wraps the custom node class inherited from the NodeExternBase.
