Variables Panel

The Variables panel lets you create, edit, and organize variables that your node graphs can read and write. Access it from the Graph Settings menu in the node graph editor.

Panel Overview

The Variables panel displays all variables in your project with columns for:

Column	Description
Name	Variable identifier (click to edit)
Type	Data type (Int, Float, String, Bool, Vector, Array)
Value	Current value (editable)

Click any column header to sort the list.

Creating Variables

1. Click the + Variable button at the bottom of the panel
2. A new variable appears with a default name
3. Edit the name, choose a type, and set an initial value

Variable names must be unique. If you enter a duplicate name, a number suffix is added automatically.

Searching and Filtering

Type in the search box at the top to filter variables by name. The search matches from the beginning of variable names and is case-insensitive.

---

Importing Variables

Import variables from another OverMox project:

1. Click the Import button (folder icon)
2. Select a valid OverMox project folder
3. All variables from that project are added to your current project

This is useful for reusing variable setups across multiple projects.

Tips

🎯 Quick Node Creation: Right-click a variable and choose “Create Get Node” or “Create Set Node” to instantly add the node to your graph.

🎯 Naming Convention: Use descriptive names like donation_total or is_live so you can easily find variables later.

🎯 Sort by Type: Click the Type column header to group similar variables together.
