Introduction to Using Variables
Variables are powerful tools that help simplify automation within a skin.
A variable is like a bucket that stores information that can be later
referenced. The variable can be named anything you like but usually represents
the information that it’s storing. Variables in Pano2VR can be a word/text, a
number, or true/false. Once you name a variable and then give it a value, you
can use actions and triggers to either change the value stored in the variable
or to check the value.
In the tutorials below, you’ll learn how to use each type of variable.
