3900 → 1 hour, 5 minutes
What it does
Write seconds as words, like 2 hours, 5 minutes. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value 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: write seconds as words, like 2 hours, 5 minutes.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
