“Works out make pairs whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[Sam, Alex, Kai] secret santa → Sam → Kai, Kai → Alex, Alex → Sam
What it does
Random pairs, or a secret santa circle where nobody gets themselves. 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 Games & fun in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for games and fun: random pairs, or a secret santa circle where nobody gets themselves.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
