get.var
In a flow
“Works out saved variable whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
What it does
Read a variable (this run's, the member's or the server's) as text, a number or a list: the way to wire a {var.<name>} into a list or number socket, like a list you built up with Change variable → Add to list. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 3 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 a variable (this run's, the member's or the server's) as text, a number or a list: the way to wire a {var.<name>} into a list or number socket, like a list you built up with Change variable → Add to list.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
