What is a workflow function? A workflow function is a function that you can script to save yourself time by reducing the amount of work you need to do. The function could perform one specific task, or it could perform multiple tasks.

Anyway, let's crack on...


Example #1: Condition

Script section > definition type script:

function setCond(cond, val, cs)
 if cs ~= nil then cond = game.CurrentScene.Conditions[cond] else cond = Conditions[cond] end -- check global or direct path
 -- + --
 if val == nil then -- toggle
  if cond.Value then cond.Value = false else Cond.Value = true end
 else
  cond.Value = val -- update condition based on val (true or false)
 end
end

Usage example #1: set condition example as true, access globally

setCond("example", true)

Usage example #2: toggle condition example, access condition belonging to current scene

setCond("example", nil, true)
