A requirement that the script must meet before the next thing can happen. An example might be a screen message that must be closed before the audio instructions play. Closing the screen message is the condition in this case.
Use
Scripts are comprised of several parts that work together to form a narrative. Frames are contained within the script and they hold the script content. One or more Frames holds the Resources, Events, Conditions, and Variables that are all parts of a script.
Conditions are used to control the flow of frames and set dynamic values. A Condition is something that has a Boolean value to it. That is, it is either true or false.
Conditions are used in multiple places. They can be used as a Frame Precondition to restrict the activation of a frame, or as a parameter of certain Resource items.
There are many types of Conditions and to see specific information on each, see the Conditions section of our Knowledge Base.
