Square Wave

Menu Path : Operator > Math > Wave > Square Wave

The Square Wave Operator allows you to generate a value which alternates between a minimum and a maximum value at steady intervals based on a provided input and a set frequency.

If Frequency is set to 1, the blue dot remains at Min with an Input value from 0 to almost 0.5. Then, with an Input value from 0.5 to almost 1, the dot remains at Max. After that, the wave repeats.

You can use this Operator to instantaneously switch between two values at a steady rate. This can be useful if you want to periodically toggle a behavior on and off. For example, if you want to apply a force at steady intervals.

Operator properties

Input	Type	Description
Input	Configurable	The value this Operator evaluates to generate the output value.
Frequency	Configurable	The rate at which the Input value switches between Min and Max. Larger values make the wave repeat itself more.
Min	Configurable	The minimum value that Out can be.
Max	Configurable	The maximum value that Out can be.

Output	Type	Description
Out	Matches Input	The value this Operator generates between Min and Max based the Input and Frequency.
