Text & Value Buffer

Text Buffer This node buffers a text until it is needed for further processing.
Value Buffer This node buffers a value of type Float, Int, Bool, String, Byte, Matrix, Uri or Object until it is needed for further processing.

Text Buffer

The Text Buffer Node is an important and useful Node for easily creating text transitions. It stores the last received string and buffers it until the Pass event is triggered. This causes the string at Text to bet set as new Out. If Bypass is checked, the input string will directly be set at Out.

Whenever the value of Text changes, the Changed event is fired. In a similar fashion, the Passed event is fired whenever the output changes, either because Pass was triggered or Bypass is active and the value of Text changed.

Value Buffer

The Value Buffer node works similar to Text Buffer but handles different value types: Float, Int, Bool, String, Byte, Matrix, Uri, Object. Furthermore one can have multiple properties which are buffered simultaneously. To define this property set use the Custom Model Dialog .

Note that Reset resets all the outputs to their default values.

Type Default
Float 0
Int 0
Bool false
String null
Byte 0
Matrix Zero Matrix
Uri null
Object null
