What to study

Broken Arrow's missions are scripted as a flow graph, not written as code: a trigger node (Detected artillery shot, with By Alpha, By Bravo and position outputs) wires into an action node (Add Income, 1000 to Alpha Player 1), and an unwired node flags itself with an orange No input connections! banner. The same node chrome — header, ports, warning state — repeats across trigger and action alike, so the scripting language reads as plumbing. Frame at 2:26 in the Gameplay Trailer (Steam). Classified focus-tech-tree as the catalog's nearest existing type for a node graph; this is a trigger/action flow, not a progression tree.
