# Create a graph on a Script Machine or State Machine
|
|
|
|
You can create a new graph file directly from a Script Machine or State Machine component on a GameObject. For more information on creating a Script Machine or State Machine, see [Attaching a graph file to a Script Machine or State Machine](vs-attach-graph-machine.md).

## Create a new graph file from a Script Machine or State Machine
|
|
|
|
To create a new graph file from an existing Script Machine or State Machine:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Editor's Hierarchy window, select a GameObject that has a Script Machine or State Machine.
|
|
If the Hierarchy window isn't visible, go to **Window** > **General** > **Hierarchy** or press CTRL + 4 (macOS: Cmd + 4).
|
|
|
|
2. (Optional) If the Inspector window for your selected GameObject doesn't appear, press CTRL + 3 (macOS: Cmd + 3), or go to **Window** > **General** > **Inspector**.
|
|
|
|
3. In the Inspector window, on your Script Machine or State Machine component with the **Source** set to **Graph**, select **New**.
|
|
|
|
4. Enter a name for your new graph file.
|
|
|
|
5. Choose a location for the file in your project, and select **Save**.
|
|
|

## Create a new embedded graph on your Script Machine or State Machine
|
|
|
|
You can create an embedded graph on your Script Machine or State Machine component instead of using an external graph file:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Editor's Hierarchy window, select a GameObject that has a Script Machine or State Machine.
|
|
If the Hierarchy window isn't visible, go to **Window** > **General** > **Hierarchy** or press CTRL + 4 (macOS: Cmd + 4).
|
|
|
|
2. (Optional) If the Inspector window for your selected GameObject doesn't appear, press CTRL + 3 (macOS: Cmd + 3), or go to **Window** > **General** > **Inspector**.
|
|
|
|
3. In the Inspector window, on your Script Machine or State Machine component, set the **Source** to **Embed**.
|
|
|
|
4. (Optional) In the **(Title)** field, enter a descriptive title for your embedded graph.
|
|
|
|
5. (Optional) In the **(Summary)** field, enter a brief summary of what your embedded graph does.
|
|
|
|
6. (Optional) To open the new embedded graph for editing, select **Edit Graph**.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> Unity recommends you create a graph file rather than an embedded graph. However, you might encounter some situations where an embedded graph works best. For more information on choosing the correct graph type, see [Source types for Script Machines and State Machines](vs-graph-machine-types.md#source-types-for-script-machines-and-state-machines).

## Next steps
|
|
|
|
After you attach a graph to a Script Machine or State Machine, you can open your graph for editing. For more information, see [Open a graph file for editing](vs-open-graph-edit.md). |
