∨ (Boolean OR)

The Boolean OR node performs a logical OR operation on two boolean inputs and outputs the result. It returns true if at least one of the inputs is true, and false only if both inputs are false.

​
Inputs

  1. a (boolean): The first boolean value. Defaults to false if not connected.
  2. b (boolean): The second boolean value. Defaults to false if not connected.

​
Outputs

  1. result (boolean): The result of the logical OR operation on the two input values.

​
Configuration

This node has no configuration options.

​
Usage

  1. Add the Boolean OR node to your spell.
  2. Connect boolean values to the a and b input ports. These can come from other nodes or be set manually.
  3. The result output port will emit true if at least one of a or b is true, and false if both are false.
  4. Connect the result output to other nodes as needed in your spell.

​
Example

Suppose you have a spell that needs to trigger an action if either a button is pressed OR a certain condition is met. You can use the Boolean OR node to combine these two conditions:

[Button Pressed] --> a |
                        ∨ --> [Trigger Action]
   [Condition Met] --> b |

In this case, [Trigger Action] will receive true and fire whenever either [Button Pressed] or [Condition Met] (or both) are true.

​
Best Practices

  • Make sure the values you connect to the a and b inputs are actually booleans. Connecting other data types may lead to unexpected behavior.
  • If you only need one input condition, you can leave the other input disconnected. It will default to false which will not affect the result.
  • For more complex logical conditions, you can chain multiple Boolean OR nodes together. The output of one can feed into the input of the next.

​
Common Issues

  • If the node is always outputting true even when you expect false, double check that you haven’t accidentally connected a true value to one of the inputs.
  • Remember that the OR operation returns true if either or both inputs are true. If you need true only when both are true, use the Boolean AND node instead.

The Boolean OR node is a simple but versatile logic gate that is essential for creating conditional flows in your Magick spells. Use it anytime you need to trigger actions or route data based on multiple conditions.
