In a flow
“Works out binary tools whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
6 AND 3 → 2
What it does
AND, OR, XOR and shifts of two whole numbers, and how many bits are on. For permission flags and bitmasks. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 6 values 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: AND, OR, XOR and shifts of two whole numbers, and how many bits are on. For permission flags and bitmasks.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- A Number
-
A whole number.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a number. e.g. 42
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses 6.

What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a number. e.g. 42

- Shift by Number
-
Bits to shift A left (negative: right).
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a number. e.g. 42
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses 1.

Values it gives
- A and B Number
-
Bits on in both. e.g. 2
If it's empty: Empty when the step didn't make one (it stopped early or was skipped); steps reading it get nothing.
