APEX drive controls with expressions June 12, 2026, 10:50 a.m.

Hi, time_input and frame_input are global variables that you link to a custom variable name.
In this case Im setting the Key as 'time_input' and the var name to link 'my_time'
The my time parm input just has to be a float in your graph
Thanks!

Hi, here is an example of how you can set that up in apex.


This was very helpful, there was just one thing I didn't understand. What is this key "time_input". I cannot find that anywhere in the docs. Is that property able to get the global time? Is that listed somewhere in the docs?

Thanks

A video from max rose actually helped me figure this out thanks . I just need to use the graph add node to insert a node into that other graph. Then I can use the graph connect input.
