The Control Action plug-in executes an action, for example Viz Engine commands or Control Object commands, when receiving input on the “input” field.

The action can contain more than one command to be called, and the commands must be separated by semicolons. When “Notify Only When Value Change” is checked the actions will only be triggered if the input value differs from the one already stored on the “input” field from previous invocations.

Note: This plug-in is located in: Built Ins -> Container plug-ins -> Control
