Dynamic Field is a component that allows marking of any [[Type:IField`1|IField]] as part of the [[Dynamic Variables]] System. The value inside of the specified [[Type:IField`1|IField]] can change and will be changed by the [[Dynamic Variables]] System. The variable name and the type of variable will determine how this will link to and be changed by the [[Dynamic Variables]] System. For more info on how Dynamic Variables work please check the [[Dynamic Variables]] page.

The '''DynamicField<T>''' binds the [[field]] pointed to by <code>TargetField</code> to the [[dynamic variable]] referred to by <code>VariableName</code>. The field must be a [[value type]].

== Usage ==
== Usage ==
This component works almost exactly like the [[Component:DynamicValueVariable|DynamicValueVariable]] component, except that the value used for the dynamic variable is sourced from a separate field. This field will be automatically updated with the value of the dynamic variable, and writing to the field will write to the dynamic variable. This can be used to directly bind fields of separate components as a dynamic variable without having to use a [[Component:DynamicValueVariableDriver|DynamicValueVariableDriver]] or similar setup.
