New! "Conditional flow logic"
The most significant set of improvements concern modeling logic in the Flow using variables, conditions and instructions.
Global Variables
In a new area in the project structure called “Global Variables” you can create variable sets (i.e. “Quest Variables”) and fill them with variables, sometimes called “flags”. Variables can be Boolean (true / false) or Integer numbers.
You can use those variables in condition scripts or assignments.
New flow nodes: Conditions / Instructions
To use conditional branching points or pieces of script code in the Flow, you can add these two new node types. The text fields for conditions and instructions support syntax highlighting and auto-completion.
Make sure to switch this on in the Flow-settings for migrated projects.
Conditions and instructions as property types in templates
A new “script” property type allows you to use text fields for scripting (with syntax highlighting and auto-completion) in your templates.
Circular node connections
You can now connect a node’s output pins with its input pins to create loops.
