Notes
- The “HasNoEffect” state has a different meaning for each node type. Some node types do not implement the state, in which case the state acts just like “Normal”.
- The “Waiting” node states are used internally by Maya to keep track of nodes that are waiting for a view update in the Hypergraph. You should not normally set nodes to a “Waiting” state.
