Chapter 391: BypassNode

Core Idea

The class generates the code of a given node but returns another node in the output. This can be used to call a method or node that does not return a value, i.e. type void on an input where returning a value is required. Example:

Key Concepts

• callNode : Node: The call node.
• isBypassNode : boolean (readonly): This flag can be used for type testing.
• outputNode : Node: The output node.

Code Examples

material.colorNode = myColor.bypass( runVoidFn() )

• What it demonstrates: Typical usage of BypassNode.
