Effect: Give variable

EffectNo. 9237

Synopsis

The variable box defines the value; this effect gives it to each chosen user or object (or to the run's context). You choose the starting value and whether to overwrite an existing variable; without overwriting, giving it again does not change its value. It is always needed before Effect: Change variable value, which does not create the variable.

Step by step

Give a variable with value 7

Boxes you need

  1. TriggerTrigger: Say something
  2. EffectEffect: Give variable
  1. Configure a “User variable” named “keys”: enable “Has a value” and “While the user is in the room”. Save the variable first.
  2. Stack “Says something” (“key”) and “Give variable”. Press Users, find “keys” and choose the triggering user.
  3. Enter 7 as the initial value and leave overwrite existing variable unchecked. Save with delay 0.
  4. Say “key”. In /circuits → Variables select “keys” and inspect your value. Repeat the word.

Result: You have the variable with value 7. Giving it again without overwrite neither resets nor adds to it.

Notes

  • Configuring the box defines the variable; this effect gives it to each user. It is cleared on leaving because of the chosen duration.
  • Effect: Change variable value doesn't create the variable: you need Effect: Give variable first.
  • Inside a stack the order is fixed: give → change → remove → $(…) is read → messages → signal. It doesn't depend on height.
