What it does

True when a moment (or now) is between two times of day, like opening hours. 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: true when a moment (or now) is between two times of day, like opening hours.

When not to

For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
