Scripts a written in JavaScript

Script Reference

There are two ways to write scripts. There is the script node and then there are variable property scripts.

A script node auto wire connections to get values that the script defined and then later return values to an auto created outlet of the returned type.

The script node has can be triggered to run manually or set to live mode, then it will run as soon as one of it's connected inlet wires update.

Live mode does not run on a loop, it only updates when one of it’s input wires update.

Main Script

async function main() {
    console.log("Hello, World!")
    return 123
}

This script is composed of a async main function. The script first prints (loggs to the console)  "Hello, World!" then returns a number.

Numbers are represented with the Float type in the script node, even if it does not have decimals.

Variable Property Scripts

There is a script button on all variable properties. When in script mode, code can be written to calculate values.

Variables properties have both a property and an inlet.
