ToggleTest

Toggle the boolean value and tests it, firing OnTrue or OnFalse based on the new value.

Test

Test the input value and fire OnTrue or OnFalse based on the value.

Outputs

OnTrue

This Output fires when the stored boolean value is true (1) and the Test input is fired or when the stored boolean value is set to true (1) by either the SetValueTest or ToggleTest inputs with parameter value 1.

OnFalse

This Output fires when the stored boolean value is false (0) and the Test input is fired or when the stored boolean value is set to false (0) by either the SetValueTest or ToggleTest inputs with parameter value 0.
