R: Scripted operators with N input connections 2005-04-24 - By brad
Back
Depending on which channels you want to affect, you can try to access and set
them by populating an empty collection:
// Create empty collection
var coll = new ActiveXObject('XSI.Collection');
// Populate collection with parameters based on condition
if(x == true){
coll.items = 'objA*.visibility.viewvis';
}
if(x == false){
coll.items = 'objB*.visibility.viewvis';
}
// Set values of items in collection
for(var e = new Enumerator(coll); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()){
var param = e.item();
param.value = true;
}
NOTE: Be very careful with this technique as it's bypassing the direct channels
input of the scripted op. If you are getting and setting kinematics properties,
it can slow performance, lead to cyclic dependencies, or cause unpredictable
kinematic behavior.
As Graham said, it's not as flexible in this area as one would hope.
