Inputs

InValue <stringRedirectInput/string>

Compares the Input value to the case values, and fires the appropriate output, if any.

PickRandom

Fires a random OnCase output with at least one connection.

PickRandomShuffle

Fires a random OnCase output with at least one connection, with no repeats until all cases have been picked, at which point the shuffle starts over.

Outputs

OnCase01 to OnCase16

Fired when the input value equals the corresponding Case value.

OnDefault

Fired when the input value does not equal any of the Case values.

OnUsed  (only in )

Fired when an input value is received, regardless of whether it matches a case.
