#Adding variables

Note
For versions 2019/2020 LTS, download the visual scripting solution from the Unity Asset Store.

Variables are containers. Each variable has a name, a type, and a value. The value inside a variable can change during runtime.

###The Blackboard window

The blackboard window is opened via the blackboard (<>) button in the Script Graph window. It contains one tab per kind of variable. The graph tab is only enabled if a script graph is selected. The object tab is only enabled if a game object is selected.

To add a variable:

1. Choose the tab corresponding to the type of variable you want to add.
2. Type the name of the new variable in the New Variable Name field.
3. Click the Add (+) button.
4. Choose a type.
5. (Optional) Change the default value.
