Fields
| Field | What it does | Default | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | How the value is read, which also sets the type of the Value port. | String |

What a run does
This block has no control ports.
It runs when a block that uses its
Value runs.
| Type | Value output | Port type |
|---|---|---|
String |
The text as it is. | string |
Float |
The text as a number, decimals allowed. | number |
Integer |
The text as a whole number, digits only. | number |
Boolean |
1 for the text true or 1, 0 for anything else.
|
bool |
Boolean matches the text exactly, so True counts as false.
A Float
or Integer value that does not parse sets no output.
No error is shown, and the
block that would use the value uses its own field instead.
