When Pushed block

Description​

The When Pushed block executes commands inside this block (once, from top to bottom) when the push button widget is pushed. Widgets can be created using the Edit Widgets feature. This is a code block from the Interface drawer.

Usage​

When Pushed begins a single execution of a stack of code (from top to bottom) when the pushed button widget is pushed. Widgets can be created using the Edit Widgets feature.

Note: It is useful to use the 'when pushed' with a push button widget when you want to execute a code segment once.

Example​

By default, StarLogo Nova displays the setup button widget. More buttons can be added by pressing 'edit interface.' After new push buttons are created, they will be displayed in the dropdown menu in the when pushed button. This button executes the instructions within the code when the button is pressed. In this case, we see common setup behavior.
