In a flow

“Works out pair two lists whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”

[Sam, Alex] + [5, 3] → Sam 5, Alex 3

What it does

Join two lists side by side into a list of objects: names with scores. 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: join two lists side by side into a list of objects: names with scores.

When not to

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