Connections

Connections define how parts interact with each other as well as how parts interact with scripts. You can make connections between parts, scripts, and other connections. A connection has a source and a target. The point at which you start the connection is called the source; the point at which you end the connection is called the target.

There are seven types of connections:

Attribute-to-attribute
Link two data values together so that when one value changes, the other value changes too.

Event-to-action
Perform an action when an event occurs.

Event-to-script
Run a script whenever an event occurs.

Attribute-from-script
Run a script whenever an attribute value needs to be calculated.

Parameter-from-attribute
Use the value of an attribute as the parameter to a connection.

Parameter-from-action
Use the result of an action as a parameter to a connection.

Parameter-from-script
Run a script whenever a parameter to a connection is required.

For more details about the different types of connections, see Connecting parts.
