output string parameter

[arqtiq]

Hello, thanks for the work this is great !

I encountered an issue when trying to create a simple "String Value" node, based on the MathSample :

[Node("String Value", "Input", "Basic", "Allows to output a simple string value.", false)]
public void InputStringValue(string inValue, out string outValue)
{
    outValue = inValue;
}

When creating the node, I have this exception :

System.MissingMethodException: 'Constructor on type 'System.String' not found.'

This breaks into NodeVisual.cs line 193, because the tested out type is not 'String' but 'String&'.

I worked around it by replacing the test this way :

var p = output.ParameterType.Name.TrimEnd('&').ToLower() == "string"

I thought this would require your attention for a proper fix :)

@komorra I got the same problem, do you still maintain this project?

Just create your own custom nodes like this:

You will not run into issues like this anymore.

Hi, this has been fixed now, in 01dcc29 , now it is possible to use string types directly as node input and output parameters.
