Expressions

You can use expressions as input parameter to reduce the amount of logic entities used. Expressions in input parameter start with $$=

For example, using this as input parameter: $$='Health: ('..!activator.m_iHealth..'/'..!activator.m_iMaxHealth..')' will set health information as input parameter

Expressions are calculated during input execution .

Do not put double quote " inside expression, but you are allowed to use comma , .

Syntax

		Example
'AADSD'	literal string	'AADSD'
4.3	number	4.3
[1 4 5.5]	vector	[1 4 5.5]
entityname.variable	access entity sendprop, datamap, or custom variable	!activator.m_iHealth + 41
+ - * / %	add, subtract, multiply, divide, modulo operators	5 + 2
..	join strings	'This is ' .. 2 .. ' awesome'
> >= < <= == !=	comparison operators	7 > 3
()	parentheses, expression inside is calculated before others	(4 + 3) * 2
function(param 1, param 2 ...)	function	min(entity.m_iHealth, entity2.m_iHealth)
&& ||	and, or operators	entity.m_iHealth > 4 && entity2.m_iHealth < 2
& | ^	and, or, xor binary operators
>> <<	right bit shift, left bit shift

Values are automatically converted when types of left and right sides of operators differ.

For example, [1 4 5] + 4 will automatically convert 4 to [4 4 4] vector
