Ref To Output

Reference

∅

Core

The Reference To Output node takes a Global ProtoFlux reference and returns the IVariable that can be used for an Indirect Write.

This node is automatically created when attaching an applicable node output (Data Model Store, Store, Local, or Source) into an input that requires an IVariable. To create this node from the node menu, one must use the assembly type names for IVariable and ExecutionContent. An example valid type for this node is ProtoFlux.Runtimes.Execution.IVariable<ProtoFlux.Runtimes.Execution.ExecutionContext,string>.

Outputs

* (IVariable)

The IVariable wrapper of Reference.

Globals

Reference (IVariable)

The IProtoFluxNode<IVariable<C,T>> to output. Common cases for this are a Data Model Store, Store, Local, or Source.

Examples

A simple example or writing to a source.
Different ways of writing to the Value of a Component:ValueField.

-The '''Reference To Output''' node takes in a reference (either a [[ProtoFlux:Data Model Store|data model store variable]] or source of a component field). And returns the [[Type:IVariable|IVariable]] reference that can be used for [[ProtoFlux:Indirect Write|indirect writes]]. This node is created when attaching a data model store or field source into an input that requires an IVariable.
+The '''Reference To Output''' node takes a [[Global]] ProtoFlux reference and returns the [[Type:IVariable`2|IVariable]] that can be used for an [[ProtoFlux:Indirect Write|Indirect Write]].

-You can also use the [[ProtoFlux:Field As Variable| Field As Variable]] node as an alternative to this way of using the reference of a field.
