# Live scripts

### Live Violet Scripts

The <mark style="background-color:purple;">**Live**</mark> toggle enables a Script to automatically re-run anytime the value of its linked Violet Variables change. It will also generate an output entity displaying the results of the script.

If the output of the script is a numeric value, string, or boolean, it will be saved into a property of the entity as well. By default, this will create one output entity per Violet Script which will be updated every run with the new results if the output changes.

The Live toggle can be accessed from the top panel of the Violet Script. The output can be accessed from the Violet Script Outputs section
