Below you will also see the CODE that is used in this template. When you use this template then the following line of code is added into this embed point:
DO ROUTINE:TurnTipsOnOff
IMPORTANT NOTE: This code template assumes you are using a menu option set to "Toggle" with its USE var set to GLO:TipLink.
If you want to use this in some other manner - then YOU need to change the value of GLO:TipLink (0=Off 1=On) and then use the code template or call DO ROUTINE:TipsOnOFF
We believe in showing you the code used by the template (when possible) so that you can easily learn what is going on.
NOTE: All TipLink code routine names start with the word ROUTINE: This makes it easy to spot them if you look at the generated code.
