What it does
The first of a few values that isn't empty, like a nickname, else a name, else Someone. 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 Logic in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to decide what happens next: the first of a few values that isn't empty, like a nickname, else a name, else Someone.
