Ordered Menu Token

[csp]

I am using stamp() to change the value of the ordered menu connected to a copySOP. I want to change based on the token value and not their order (0,1,2,3). How that can be achieved?

Thanks for your reply Puben, but this not what I was looking for. I know how to use stamp. My questions is... in a custom ordered menu:

index: 0, token: 1, name: one
index: 1, token: 5, name: five
index: 2, token: 10, name: ten

how the value that comes from stamp will change the selection in ordered menu based on its match with the token and not the index. So, if the values that come from stamp is 1 will match with index 0 which has token 1 and not with index 1 which has token 5.

 

In the example attached , there 3 points with ids 5,6,8 and on the other side of the copy there is an null with custom ordered menu with 3 items, where by default stamp try to match with index of menu's items but it will not as there are out of range (0-2) and gives an error. The idea is to match with their token values.

my bad,

 

I used python instead of hscript

 

 

menu_items = {5:0, 6:1, 8:2}
copySop = hou.node('/obj/STAMP_EXAMPLE/copy1')
token = copySop.stampValue("token", 1)
return menu_items[token]
