Block Selection
There are a few different ways to select blocks, and once they are selected you can perform various opperations on them.
- Selection box - If you Ctrl + Left Click & Drag you can draw a selection box which will select all blocks within it
- Left Click - Simply left clicking a block will select it
- Ctrl Modifier - Without holding shift any selection opperation will also de-select any previously selected blocks. If you hold shift it will retain your previous selection as well as adding your newly selected blocks.
Parameters
Linking parameters is a simple drag and drop but it follows a few basic rules:
- An Output Parameter can't link to another output Parameter and an Input Parameter can't link to another Input Parameter
- An Output Parameter can only link to an input parameter of it's own type or of the 'Any' type
- An Output Parameter can link to many Input Parameters but an Input Parameter can only have one link
- A parameter can't link to a parameter on the same block
Execution Pins
Execution pins work much the same as parameters, again, with a few basic rules:
- An Output Execution Pin can't link to another Output Execution Pin and an Input Execution Pin can't link to another Input Execution Pin
- An Input Execution Pin can have links from many Output Execution Pins but each Output Execution Pin can only link to one Input Execution Pin
- An Execution Pin can't link to an Execution Pin on the same block
Viewing Results
After a Function has been run, results can be viewed either on the 'Return' Block, 'Log' Block or where an error has occured using the eye icon.
