# Create a new state
|
|
|
|
You can create three types of State nodes in a State Graph: [Script States](#create-a-script-state), [Any States](#create-an-any-state), and [Super States](#create-a-super-state). For more information on the types of State nodes, see State Graphs in [Graphs](vs-graph-types.md#state-graphs).
|
|
|
|
You can also add a [Sticky Note](vs-sticky-notes.md) to add comments to a graph.
|
|
|
|
## Create a Script State
|
|
|
|
To create a new blank Script State:
|
|
|
|
1. [!include[vs-open-state-menu](./snippets/vs-open-state-menu.md)]
|
|
2. Select **Create Script State**.
|
|
|
|
Visual Scripting creates a new Script State node.
|
|
3. Open the [**Graph Inspector**](vs-interface-overview.md#the-graph-inspector).
|
|
4. In the **Graph Inspector**, choose a source for the Script State node:
|
|
|
|
- **Embed**: The graph only exists on the Script State node. You can only modify the graph from the node in its parent State Graph.
|
|
- **Graph**: The graph exists in a separate file. You can modify the graph outside of its parent State Graph and reuse the graph in other areas of your application.
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Select **New**.
|
