# Boolean

A Boolean variable, is a variable of logical type whose value can be True or False. Most often such a variable is used to determine whether an object has a property or not. As well as to set this property through animations.

To set a variable of this type: 

* In the components tab of the object, select Variables 
* Create a new variable Select Boolean type

* Set the initial value of the variable. A toggle on corresponds to a True value, a toggle off corresponds to a False value.
