The GlobalValue component is used by ProtoFlux to provide globals to a node group.
Fields
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
persistent
|
Bool | Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server. |
UpdateOrder
|
Int | Controls the order in which this component is updated. |
Enabled
|
Bool | Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't. |
Value
|
T | The value to point to for a Protoflux context. |
Usage
When not using ProtoFlux, This component has no use over more idiomatic components such as a ValueField.
When using ProtoFlux, the underlying value can be changed and any node that accepts a global input that references the component will update during execution. This can allow one to dynamically change things like dynamic impulse tags.
This component can also simply be used for static global values that need to be referenced in a lot of places for when the overhead of dynamic variables is undesirable. When combined with the Global To Output node, this component also provides more UX than sourcing a ValueField by being able to see the underlying value directly.
