Paper button → Read from a match pick-{node.other.value} → If Found → decide.
What it does
A value kept on a match with Save on a match, and whether it was there. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Games & fun in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for games and fun: A value kept on a match with Save on a match, and whether it was there.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
