Float

The Float node is a simple utility node that allows you to input a floating-point number and pass it as an output to other nodes in your spell. It is useful when you need to provide a specific numeric value to a node that expects a float input.

​
Inputs

  • a (float, default: 0): The input floating-point number.

​
Outputs

  • result (float): The floating-point number passed through from the input.

​
Configuration

This node has no configuration options.

​
Usage

  1. Add a Float node to your spell.
  2. Connect the result output to the input of the node that requires a floating-point number.
  3. Set the value of the a input to the desired floating-point number.

​
Example

Suppose you have a spell that generates a random number between 0 and a maximum value. You can use the Float node to provide the maximum value:
  1. Add a Float node to your spell.
  2. Set the a input of the Float node to the desired maximum value, e.g., 100.
  3. Connect the result output of the Float node to the max input of a Random Float node.
  4. The Random Float node will now generate random numbers between 0 and the value provided by the Float node.

​
Tips

  • Use the Float node whenever you need to input a specific floating-point number into your spell.
  • You can change the value of the a input dynamically to adjust the behavior of your spell without modifying the node configuration.

​
Gotchas

  • Make sure to connect the result output to a node that expects a floating-point input. Connecting it to a node that expects a different data type may cause unexpected behavior.
  • Be aware of the numeric precision limitations of floating-point numbers when working with very large or very small values.
