In a flow

“Works out percent change whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”

80 → 100 is +25%

What it does

How much a number rose or fell as a percent, and which way. 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 Values in the palette.

When to use it

Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: how much a number rose or fell as a percent, and which way.

When not to

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