Updating Object Properties

I have a source that creates a token once a variable on my Task executer changes. When this happens I want to reduce the speed of the task executer I am using Astar. What is the correct syntax in the custom code? Is it "Object.setProperty"?

Yes, it's either

Object.setProperty("MaxSpeed", <newValue>);

or

Object.setVariable("maxspeed", <newValue>);

Be aware that the change will only take effect at the start of the next travel task.

"Object" has to be replaced with a reference to the object you want to change the variable on (task executer).

Based on the screenshot in your post, that would be "token.Bolt" in your case. If you still get an error message try adding ".as(Object)" into the command like this:

token.Bolt.as(Object).setVariable("maxspeed", 0.5)
