usetemplate

Use the usetempate command to create an instance of a template defined inside the script with a Deftemplate node. Templates reduce the need to write repetitive text many times. Using templates you can create complex behaviors just with a node.

To use a template, you need to indicate the unique name of the template to instantiate and provide all the values for its defined placeholders. The values set for the placeholders are copied inside placeholders as string so you can provide:

• Constants of every field type ("0 1 1", true, "10.45").

Field values (node fields or constants) with the field value referencing mode that uses @node.field@ syntax.

Note: You must provide all the placeholder values defining them as attributes of the node, just like they are fields of the usetemplate node.

Platform support

This element is fully supported on XR-Windows, XR-Portable Windows, XR-Portable iOS, XR-Portable Android, and XR-P WASM platforms.
