What it does
A counter's total for this period and the last, without adding. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep something between runs: A counter's total for this period and the last, without adding.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
