¶ Introduction
In Artemis you can use conditions to make profiles, folders and layers show or hide when certain criteria are met.
Conditions usually rely on the data model. This is the place where Artemis stores all the information available to profiles. There is a global data model which is always available (per example: system metrics, current time, active window) and a module-specific data model which contains data limited to the module the profile is bound to (per example: health, ammo, team in the current game).
Per example: League of Legends game data is only available to a profile using the League of Legends module. General info is always available to all profiles.
¶ Creating a condition
Conditions are created using the visual scripting system, this means all you need to do is click things!
The node script of a condition always has a single exit node called "Activate ..." that takes a boolean value, whatever you put in here indicates the end-result of the condition.
Here is a simple example visual script that activates a layer when the time of day is after 17:00
¶ Layers and folders
In order to use display conditions on layers and folders you need to select an activation type that uses display conditions. This is done in the bottom-right corner of the editor when you've selected either a layer or a folder. To recap Artemis has four different types of display conditions, namely
- Always
The element is always active, this is the default type and does not use any kind of node script. - Once
The element is shown once until its timeline is finished, this type also does not use any kind of node script. - Conditional
The element is activated when the provided visual script ends in true. - On event
The element is activated when the selected event fires.
Events that contain data can conditionally trigger the layer using a visual script.
The two bottom ones allow you to define your own conditions.
¶ Simple conditions
Select the Conditional activation type and click on Edit condition script.
A new window will open in which you can create your condition script. The layer/folder remains active for as long as this visual script outputs true to the end node and finishes it's run when the value becomes false. You can tweak this behaviour with the other two options.
¶ Event conditions
When picking the On event activation type, you must first select an event to trigger on before you can edit the condition script.
A new window will open in which you can create your condition script.
The layer/folder will play its timeline once in response to the event if the visual script outputs true when the event triggers. You can tweak this behaviour with the other two options.
In adittion to the exit condition scripts for event conditions also have a start node that outputs event data.
The contents of this node depend on what you've selected in the Triggered by event option
¶ Profiles
Acivation conditions for profiles work in exactly the same manner as the Simple conditions for folders and layers.
You can confire a profile's activate condition in the sidebar.
