Play Replay (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Play Replay
• Category: repeat_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/recording/playReplay.lua

Plays back a previously recorded replay file.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

None.

Internals

• Uses self.mgr:getRelativeAbsolutePath() to resolve the filename relative to the flowgraph's location.
• Calls core_replay.loadFile(file) to begin playback.

How It Works

1. When the play impulse fires, resolves the filename to an absolute path.
2. If resolution succeeds, loads the replay file via core_replay.loadFile().
3. Continues to check each frame (repeat_instant category) but only acts on the impulse.

Lua Code Example

-- Flowgraph wiring:
-- button/trigger → playReplay.play
-- playReplay.filename = "myReplay.rpl"
-- The replay file is resolved relative to the flowgraph's directory.

Key Dependencies

• core_replay - replay system (loadFile)
• self.mgr:getRelativeAbsolutePath() - path resolution

Additional Methods

C:work()

Main work function called each frame/tick when the node is active.
