The equation is (value - compare value).

Initial value for the input value.

Compare value (CompareValue) <integer>

The value to compare against.

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

Inputs

SetValue <floatRedirectInput/float>

Set the value that will be compared against the compare value.

SetValueCompare <floatRedirectInput/float>

Set the value that will be compared against the compare value and performs the comparison.

Note:Some Health based entities like func_physbox. will base its percentage fromm_iMaxHealth when using OnHealthChanged so any change in health will not be accounted for.

SetCompareValue <floatRedirectInput/float>

Set the compare value.

Compare

Force a compare of the input value with the compare value.

Outputs

OnLessThan <floatRedirectOutput/float>

Fired when the input value is less than the compare value. Sends the input value as data.

OnEqualTo <floatRedirectOutput/float>

Fired when the input value is equal to the compare value. Sends the input value as data.

OnNotEqualTo <floatRedirectOutput/float>

Fired when the input value is different from the compare value. Sends the input value as data.

OnGreaterThan <floatRedirectOutput/float>

Fired when the input value is greater than the compare value. Sends the input value as data.
