Input project settings
Table of contents
Description
Using the input parameters, you can enter the values you need for your project,
for correct template running in ZennoPoster or ZennoBox .
Input settings are read only at the start of the thread!
Changes to the input settings during the execution of the project will not be reflected in the latter in any way until a new execution begins.
Add "Input Settings" to the project
To do this, you need to click " Add " on the static blocks panel of the ProjectMaker project editor , and in the context menu that appears, select " Add input settings ", or by right-clicking in any area of the lower part, call the context menu.
A corresponding icon will appear on the panel, which opens with a double click of the mouse.
Please note that this block cannot be simultaneously present in the project with the " Bot interface " block. When adding "Input settings", the "BotUI" interface block is removed! The same happens and vice versa! Be careful and pre-save the input interface settings!
