Hey all, a question I've been looking into the last few days, on behalf of a
question that came up in another forum I am running, but haven't found the
answer I'm looking for..
heres the scenario
I have a bunch of controls that have I've tied onto a custom Pset as proxy
parameters
They are all floats..
If I install the SPDL and then edit to group or change the ordr, or add tabs,
resave the SPDL and refresh
I lose visuals on one of the sliders, or the sldier will remain but it will no
longer drive the value..
heres the confusing part:
If I D&D a widget for say different kinds of properties onto a custom pset,
then I can edit and save the SPDL to my hearts content..
Its only when I try to D&D say the local Y,Z,X widgets of an objects kinematics
property onto a pset that the problems begin..
The guids that are created for a kinematic proxy param seem to be the same..
if I run something like
logmessage XSIFactory.CreateGuid
I can generate a unique GUID but using this new one in place of an old one
doesn't seem to allow for update of the slider values.. It does get things a
little closer to where I want in that the property doesn't disappear from the
ppg, but still not quite what I need..
Has anyone found a way around this prob?
Currently I'm just creating a custom parameter for these problem properties and
creating expressions to link them.
Custom param's don't seem to have this issue
Is there an explanation for what is going on?
thanks for any insight
Irie
