Read one of a list

Read a word that must be one of your listed choices, in any case, and give it back spelt as you listed it.

Basic plan m.cmd.read_choice

In a flow

“When a player uses /mode → Read one of a list: easy, normal, hard → Set the difficulty.”

When a player uses /mode → Read one of a list: easy, normal, hard → Set the difficulty.

What it does

Read a word that must be one of your listed choices, in any case, and give it back spelt as you listed it. 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 Commands in the palette.

When to use it

Use it when the flow needs to: read a word that must be one of your listed choices, in any case, and give it back spelt as you listed it.

When not to

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

Typical wiring

What to read. Variables allowed, like {trigger.args} for everything after the command's name.

What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there

If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses {trigger.args}.
