Get Variable

Reads a named shared variable as a number — the read side of Set Variable, live on every player's screen.

Output: number (shown live on the card)

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Options
name	score	the variable to read — the same name the Set Variable writes

A name nothing has written yet reads as 0.

What it reads

Get Variable reads the shared variables: the ones a Set Variable with scope shared writes, and the shared count of the Collectibles module. They travel with the game state, so every player — including one who joins later — reads the same number, and the read itself sends nothing.

It does not read per-player numbers (Set Variable scope player); use Player Variable for those. It does not read what Store Value saved on the device either; that is Stored Value.

Practical example

A door that disappears once the team has 10 points:

1. Add a Get Variable (name score).
2. Add a Compare (op lt, b = 10); wire Get Variable → its a.
3. Add a Visibility node; wire Compare → its on.
4. Add an Object Selector picking the Door; wire Visibility → Object Selector. The door stays while the score is under 10 and vanishes for everyone when it reaches 10.

Tip

To show a variable on screen, select a HUD Text element and pick Actions ▸ Show a variable in the HUD editor: it wires a Get Variable into a HUD Text for you.
