“Works out text to true/false whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
yes → true
What it does
Read yes/no, on/off or true/false from a text. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: read yes/no, on/off or true/false from a text.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Text Text
-
An answer like yes, no, on, off, true or 1.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
