This topic is part of Logic nodes.

Alias node

An Alias works as a pointer to a node instance. Use it to write code that can be applied to specific instances by assigning the Alias node.

  • Every field of an instantiated node can be accessed by an alias.

  • Assigning a node to an alias does not influence node routing. The best way to use alias is inside commands.

  • There is no node type check. Fields that are accessed by an alias are evaluated at runtime, not at script loading.
