What it does
Read one placeholder for a player, like player_health. Known says whether PlaceholderAPI had an answer for it. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Plugins in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to: read one placeholder for a player, like player_health. Known says whether PlaceholderAPI had an answer for it.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring

Leave unwired for the player who started the flow, or wire one in, like Player from When a player joins.
