The variable element allows you to get and set a variable value during runtime, similar to a variable in C. This allows for runtime storage of data, and also facilitates sharing of values between elements that aren’t otherwise directly connected.
The variable element is located in the Element Toolbox within Studio’s Embedded tab.
