The Set<\/em><\/strong> feature allows us to create as well as modify a variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the concept of a variable is totally abstract for you, I advise you to consult the following article before continuing: All about {{\u2026}} variables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the construction features, click on \u201cVariables\u201d and then, in the menu that opens, click on \u201cSet\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Set<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start by creating a Set<\/em><\/strong> feature:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Set<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You have 2 choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Choose an existing variable from the drop-down list to modify it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Create a variable by inserting the name of the new variable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    All you have to do is insert the value to be assigned to the variable.
    When the bot performs this function, it will be completely invisible to the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is also possible to give the variable the value of another existing variable by clicking on the icon {\u2026}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have created a variable with the name\u201cmyVariable\u201d<\/em> and the value\u201c5\u201d:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Set<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s check that the operation works by asking the bot to display the value of the variable myVariable<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Set<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s run the bot to see the result:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It is confirmed, our variable \u201cmyVariable\u201d has the value 5. We can now manipulate it from any sequence in our bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    TIP<\/strong>
    To reset a variable already filled to 0,<\/strong> just put the name of the variable and as value put empty.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
