Branch (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Branch
• Category: logic
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/logic/branch.lua

Routes flow to either the True or False output pin based on a boolean condition. The fundamental if/else construct for flowgraphs.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

Behavior

• work() - When flow is active, passes flow through and routes to True or False based on the condition value. When no flow, all outputs are false.

How It Works

This is the standard conditional branching node. When flow arrives and the condition is truthy, True outputs flow and False is suppressed (and vice versa). The hidden flow pin always passes through the input flow regardless of condition.

Example Usage

-- In a flowgraph:
-- Connect a boolean check (e.g., "is player near?") to the condition pin
-- Connect True to the "open door" action
-- Connect False to the "keep door closed" action

-- Equivalent Lua logic:
if condition then
  -- True branch
else
  -- False branch
end
