The file to download is a .hotbox, as in you can install JP_trueAlign directly importing the file via the HotboxManager. If you wish for the standalone tool to use independently, feel free to ask!
Unlike similar tools, JP_trueAlign respects the order intended by the artist for the nodes, given the input/output connections within the branch. This means the structure can be as convulted as they come, but once applied the tool, the result will be a one-way flow of nodes in flawless order (as shown below).
For the moment, the tool supports only single branch alignment (one input and one output per node). A broader tool to organize full, more chaotic scripts is in development.
To use, simply select any set of interconnected nodes, access W_Hotbox via hotkey, and select the type of alignment desired for your nodes. Taking the furthest node at the top, bottom, left and/or right, the tool will arrenge your nodes within said space, depending on the type of alignment selected.
