Hello,

I’m trying to call a script that will automatically add connected nodes to the current node tree. It looks like this

import bpy

for i in range(1):
     #specifcy node tree
     myTree = bpy.data.node_groups['Pop ups']
     
     #location offset
     offsetX = i *400
     
     #add Time Info Node
     mytime = bpy.data.node_groups['Pop ups'].nodes.new("an_TimeInfoNode")
     mytime.location=offsetX, 0
     
     #add Delay Time Node
     mydelay = bpy.data.node_groups['Pop ups'].nodes.new("an_DelayTimeNode")
     mydelay.location=offsetX+200,0

     #Connect Frame, Time
     nodetree=bpy.data.node_groups['Pop ups']
     nodetree.links.new(mytime.outputs['Frame'],mydelay.inputs['Time'])
     
    

I’m wondering how set the nodetree contextually. That is, when I call the external script, the active node tree is passed into the script, and the nodes are added/connected to the current node tree.
