Function Definitions

ModCom is capable of executing a number of different functions during run-time. These functions are triggered by various objects such as a Button, Script, Conditional, etc. A function performs its operation with the help of a data string which is entered into a box next to the function title. This data string can be static, such as a numerical value or an Object ID Label, or it can be a variable which changes throughout run-time. The following is a summery of each function and how to use it:
