    Square Wave

    Menu Path : Operator > Math > Wave > Square Wave

    The Square Wave Operator allows you to generate a value which alternates between a minimum and a maximum value at steady intervals based on a provided input and a set frequency.

    If Frequency is set to 1, the blue dot remains at Min with an Input value from 0 to almost 0.5. Then, with an Input value from 0.5 to almost 1, the dot remains at Max. After that, the wave repeats.

    You can use this Operator to instantaneously switch between two values at a steady rate. This can be useful if you want to periodically toggle a behavior on and off. For example, if you want to apply a force at steady intervals.

    Operator properties

    Input Type Description
    Input Configurable The value this Operator evaluates to generate the output value.
    Frequency Configurable The rate at which the Input value switches between Min and Max. Larger values make the wave repeat itself more.
    Min Configurable The minimum value that Out can be.
    Max Configurable The maximum value that Out can be.
    Output Type Description
    Out Matches Input The value this Operator generates between Min and Max based the Input and Frequency.
