Create and assign a graph to an existing GameObject

You can use the empty graph creation flow to create a new graph file and assign it to an existing GameObject in your project.

For more information on other ways to create a graph file, see Create a new graph file.

Create a Script Graph

To create a new Script Graph and assign it to an existing GameObject:

1. [!includeopen-hierarchy-window]

2. In the Hierarchy window, select the GameObject where you want to assign the new graph.

4. Expand Create new Script Graph.

5. Select on selected game object.

6. Choose a location to save the new graph file.

7. Enter a name for the graph.

8. Select Save.

   The new graph file automatically opens in a new window.
