Generates continuous 3D noise, smoothly interpolating between a series of randomized 3D coordinates (Vec3 or X,Y,Z values). Output values are randomized based on a Vec3 seed value input and output as a Vec3 value.
As seen in the reference image below, Math:Auto3DNoise defines where exactly (on X, Y and Z axes) the floating points should be generated and how high/low the curve values should be. These values are based on the Frequency and Amplitude values respectively.

This node will split a boolean input into a true / false (1/0) output.
In the above example, the flowgraph loops around switching the input of the "Math:FromBoolean" from true to false.
The main part of this example is the section from the "Math:Equal" onwards. The OUT of the Math:Equal is a boolean output which the "Math:FromBoolean" reads and then forwards the signal onto the HUD message nodes.
This then loops back to cycle the number from 1 to 0 (true / false) via the "Math:Counter". The result is that it will cycle between the 2 HUD messages every second.
Input | Description |

Output | Description |
Any "False" | Outputs the result if False (0) |
Any "True" | Outputs the result if True (1) |

This node will take a float number and clamp it to the specified range set within its parameters.
In the above picture, upon pressing the key "K", the "Math:Random" will generate a number between 0 and 100. The signal then passes to the two "Math:Clamp" nodes where they have been set to only output a number between 0 and 50.
So if the number falls within the 0 -> 50 range it will pass through as normal. But if the number is higher than 50 (the maximum set), it will be clamped down to 50.
In reverse, if the minimum was set to say 20, any number lower than the minimum would be raised up to 20.

Every time this node receives an input, it will increase the number by 1, then forward it to the output.
When the internal number reaches the specified number set in the "MAX" option, it will reset the counter back to zero.
Time based counter
As the signal passes through the flowgraph it increases the counter by 1, then it reaches the first Debug:DisplayMessage, then feed the signal back into the logic any after a 1 second delay.
Then it goes around again, increasing the counter by 1 each time. Once the count is equal to 3 (specified in the Math:Equal) it will hide the first HUD message then Show the second.
Bodycount counter
In this example, when any one of the human AI is killed it forwards a signal through the "Logic:Any" to the "Math:Counter". This will increase the counter by 1 each time it receives a signal. When all 3 grunts are dead, The "Math:Equal" becomes true and the HUD message is updated.
Note: In both examples, the MAX in the "Math:Counter" is set higher than the "Math:Equal". This is because if the counter reaches its set MAX it will be reset to zero and the "Math:Equal" will never become true.
Input | Description |
---|---|
Any "in" | |
Any "reset" | To force the counter back to zero instead of letting the MAX value do it |

The "Math:Equal" node tests to see if input B is equal to input A. This will then output the answer in boolean form.
In the above example, we set a number to 10 (A), and also interpolate another number from 0 - 10 (B). These both feed into the "Math:Equal" node.
Upon start, they are not equal so the signal is passed to the false port. Until (B) has reached 10, then (B) is equal to (A) and it can the pass the signal to the true output port.
There is also an (OUT) port on the "Math:Equal" node. This is a boolean output. In the example above, the OUT acts the same as the true / false ports, but is combined into one output.
This is feed into a "Math:FromBoolean" node which then splits it into a true / false output.
