Drop in a column

In a flow

“When a button is clicked, drop in a column.”

Column 4 button → Drop in a column 4 → If Placed → Check for a line.

What it does

Drop the member's piece into a column; it falls to the lowest empty square, like Connect 4. Refuses a full column, or a member whose turn it isn't (Why not says so). It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 7 values later steps can use. Find it under Games & fun in the palette.

When to use it

Use it for games and fun: drop the member's piece into a column; it falls to the lowest empty square, like Connect 4. Refuses a full column, or a member whose turn it isn't (Why not says so).

When not to

If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
