Dynamic Variable Status is a component that allows for reading if a certain [[Dynamic Variables|dynamic variable]] with a type and name exists and/or is linked to a [[Component:DynamicVariableSpace|space]]. Which space this component reads from is determined by the slot this component is attached to. How a slot finds a dynamic variable space is further explained on the [[Dynamic Variables]] page.

- This component can be used to check if a battery is in a charger
- This component can be used to control if functionality will work on an item.
- This component can also be used for behavior of snappers or items by checking if the variable they are searching for exists or if the item is even connected to a space it can use.
