====Bindable====

**Bindable** attributes are attributes that can be linked to the properties of an ARDI asset.

For example, you might assign the [[tint]] effect to an asset to change its colour and shade it in red.

For example...

<code>
<tint colora="1,0,0,1" colorb="1,1,1,1" flashrate="1" enabled="1"/>
</code> 

The above effect makes the asset flash red every one second. It's always enabled, meaning that the asset will always flash.

But you don't want in red //all// the time - only when there's a fault, which is based on the **Faulted** digital property on your asset.

To bind an attribute to a property, you use square braces ( [ and ] ) in the property name.

<code>
<tint colora="1,0,0,1" colorb="1,1,1,1" flashrate="1" enabled="[Faulted]"/>
</code>

This means that the tint will only be active when the Faulted state is 1 (good). When the fault state goes to 0 (bad), then enabled will also go to 0, which will remove the tint. 

These aren't just limited to digitals - you can use analogues too. In fact, you can even transform your data. See [[binding expressions|binding expressions]] for details on possible expression formats.
