logic_multicompare is a logical entity available in all Source games.

Compares a set of inputs to each other. If they are all the same, fires an OnEqual. If any are different, fires the OnNotEqual.

This entity has an internal list of integers that it has received from any inputValue input's. Any values sent to this entity, must be sent as an integer or boolean because "if it can't be converted" the entity will "just throw it away" (Source Code comment from dev's). Currently, there is no way to clear this 'list', so the entity is not reusable.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Integer Value (optional) (IntegerValue) <integer>

Initial integer value.

Should use Integer Value (ShouldComparetoValue) <boolean>

If set, compare inputs against Integer Value.

Inputs

InputValue <variantRedirectInput/variant>

Input value

CompareValues <variantRedirectInput/variant>

Outputs

OnEqual <void>

!activator = activator of input causing this
!caller = this entity
