Fields

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.
Tag	String	Tag of the parent value. Compatible ParentReferenceLink components on the slot's immediate children must have the same tag.
Reference	T	The value of the parent value associated with the Tag and type.

Usage

When this component is on a slot, all immediate children are part of its parent value system. Any immediate children of the slot with a ParentReferenceLink component that matches the type and Tag of this component will be linked to the Reference provided by this component.

This can be especially useful for Snapper/SnapTarget systems.
