Component:ValueMultiplexer

Value Multiplexer`1 component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The ValueMultiplexer component allow to curate a list of values and drive a target with one of them, much like a multiplexer.

Usage

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.
Target	field drive of T	A field which is driven with the currently selected list value
Index	Int	0-based index that determines which value of Values has been selected; values outside the range [0;length-1] are wrapped around internally.
Values	direct SyncFieldList`1<T>	A list of values which can also individually be driven or written to
AllowWriteBack	Bool	Setting this to true redirects writes from Target or from a Source representing the selected value to the currently indexed list entry.

Behavior

The component behaves similar to a ValueCopy with the list entry indicated by Index as the value to output. Changes to Index or the list entries will affect Target whenever the drive is evaluated.

In addition, the component implements the IValue type. This allows the component to be sourced by dragging out the component header with the ProtoFlux tip. This enables using the component like an array when sourcing the Index field as well. The source of this component will update instantly, as opposed to the drive being limited to once per frame.

Examples

• 
  Array-like access from within ProtoFlux. Note the setting of AllowWriteBack and that you can only access a single value at a time!
• 
  A demonstration of what happens when Index is outside the usual range. (wraps around)
