Attach a graph file to a Script Machine or State Machine
To use a Script Graph or State Graph file in your project, you need to attach it to a Script Machine or State Machine.
A Script Machine or State Machine is a component. Components attach to GameObjects, and help define their behavior. For more information on components and GameObjects, see the Unity User Manual on using components, or the section on GameObjects.
