I’m trying to do a simple check for for a variable (stamina). If the player has stamina, I want the function to return true. If the player does not have stamina, I need to to return false. Simple as that eh?

My problem here is that I need something like, a reverse branch?? Maybe I am just going about this wrong. I can set the return node to return the value “HasStamina” if it is greater than 0, but since I can only have one return node, how do I allow it to also set the same variable to false if the player has less than or equal to 0 stamina? Or is there a way to create a function-like variable like you can in C# or Java.

I need a node with the code equivalent of:


if (stamina > 0)
    return true
else
    return false

Connect HasStamina to a float > float node, with the other value being 0.

Connect the output of this pin to the Return node.

Completely eliminate the Compare macro.

Easy peasy.

Yep, that about does it, thanks!

In general, use a local variable. Set it on multiple exec points so you have e.g.:

Branch true -> set tmp true
Branch false -> set tmp false

tmp -> ReturnNode

It can quickly get cumbersome to wire everything up, even when you’ve not used 10 nodes. So for more complex scenarios, I’d go the C++ route.
