Context variable

VariableNo. 9293

Synopsis

It is born and dies with each run: use it for in-between calculations without leaving stored values. It works with Effect: Give variable, Effect: Change variable value, Addon: Capture chat text or Addon: Count object types in chest, and is shown with Addon: Variable value in text in Context scope. To keep data afterwards, use a user, object or room variable.

Boxes you need

  1. TriggerTrigger: Say something
  2. AddonAddon: Variable value in text
  3. EffectEffect: Give variable
  4. EffectEffect: Change variable value
  5. EffectEffect: Show message
  1. Configure the Context variable with the name “tmp” and enable “Has value”. Save.
  2. On another tile, stack “Says something” = “calculate”, “Give variable”, “Change variable value”, “Variable text” and “Show message”.
  3. In “Give variable”, choose Context, tmp and a fixed initial value of 7. In “Change value”, choose tmp from Context and multiply it by a fixed value of 3.
  4. In “Variable text”, choose tmp from Context, numeric output and the name “tmp”. Set the message for the triggering user to “Result: $(tmp)”. Save every box.
  5. Say “calculate” twice, leaving a second between executions.

Result: Both executions show “Result: 21”. The second execution starts with a new context.
