Variable Storage

Description

This addon allows users to add variables that can be used in exercises and simulations.

Properties

Property name	Description
Variables	A list of variables. Each of them has the following parameters: Name – a name that is later used to identify the variable, Start value – variables’s starting value.

Supported commands

Command name	Params	Description
getVariable	name	Returns the current value of the variable.
setVariable	name, value	Changes the current value of the variable.
reset	---	Resets the variables' values to the start ones.

If users use the command setVariable for a variable that was not defined in the addon, a new variable will be created. Its start value will be false.

Scoring

Variable storage is not an activity module, so there is no scoring present.

Events

Variable storage does not send any events to Event Bus.
