Example graph usage

In the following example, the On Mouse Down node listens for a click action on the GameObject where the graph runs. When a user clicks the GameObject, the On Mouse Down node triggers the GameObject Instantiate node. The Instantiate node creates a new GameObject, based on the Ball Prefab. It creates the Ball at a specific Position. It uses the Transform Get Local Rotation to match the new GameObject's Rotation to the GameObject where the Script Graph runs. Then, the graph adds a Rigidbody component to the new GameObject, and uses a Rigidbody Add Force node to add an Impulse force.

When the user clicks the mouse button, the Script Graph creates a new Ball GameObject and sends it towards the camera.
