LogicEditor | Reroute-Node

Summary

Implementation of a reroute node in the LogicEditor for routing a single input to multiple outputs.

Problem or need

The current LogicEditor graph can be complex and difficult to read due to multiple interconnected nodes. A relay node would simplify the graph by allowing a single input to be routed, improving readability.

Edit: The package our solution is built upon supports a relay node, which is currently not compatible to our extensions.

Proposed solution

Introduce a relay node that accepts a single input and routes it to multiple outputs. This would make the graph easier to understand and navigate, especially for complex logic with multiple branches or triggers.

• Disable the relay node of the source package. Currently this is still available when routing from a port.
• Build a custom reroute node compatible to our extensions.

Alternatives considered

1. Using existing nodes to achieve the same functionality. This could lead to a cluttered graph and may not be as clear as a dedicated relay node.
2. Not implementing the relay node. This would maintain the current complexity of the graph but could potentially hinder collaboration and understanding of the logic.

Additional context

A relay node would be particularly beneficial for a trigger that needs to activate multiple things. Currently, this would require multiple connections from the trigger node to each target node, which can be confusing. With a relay node, the trigger would connect to the relay node, and the relay node would then connect to each target node, making the graph more organized and easier to understand.
