HaloScript Type Casting
Description of the different data types used in HaloScript
V
HaloScript supports converting data from one type to another, this is called type casting or just casting. Type casting in HaloScript is done automatically when needed but it's good to keep it in mind as not all types can be converted. Passthrough can be converted to any type and void can be converted to from any type. They are however not the inverse of each other as void destroys the data during conversion.
