Help with the "if" in coding

Help
#1

Is there a way to make it if something happens outside of a clip, something else will happen inside the clip?

#2

If you want to be able to check a variable in an if statement inside a clip, using a variable from outside the clip you could declare the variable like this

var myVar = 100;

Then I think you should be able to use it in an if statement like this

if (myVar >= 80) {
    console.log("success");
}

Although I haven’t tried this code so it might not work or be slightly wrong

You could use project variables if you don’t want to reference clips variables…

// outside your clip...
project.myVar = 3;

then, inside your clip you can monitor that variable to see if that value has changed. At your clip’s update tab:

if(project.myVar != 3) {
      // do whatever inside your clip
}
#4

or from “outside” you can check a clip (named: “myClip” that contain a variable named: “myClipVar”) :

if (project.myClip.myClipVar != 3){ // if variable myClipVar inside myClip is not 3
// do whatever outside your clip
}

#6

What do you mean by 3?

#7

It could be whatever value or variable you want to store, so you can access that later.

#8

I don’t understand?

3 is just the != condition (for the event to happen).
