terminating 'for' loop in a callback script

[AdamJ]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting the callback script to run properly. It's

suppouse to duplicate a few nodes when the user presses the button.

Problem is that the callback script doesn't seem to finish unless

I type in the texport 'end'. What I'm after is

for i = 1 to 4

opcp node_0 node $i;

end

but when trying to run this from callback the 'end' has no effect.

Is there another way I should be doing this? Any tips and

suggestions are appreciated.

.. in case anyone is interested.. I got it working by including the scripts

in the HDA and then opdef them in the callback line. Seems Houdini

had a problem with having the entire script as one line in the callback

field.

Tip and suggestion? How about trying the help in the textport for proper if useage.

Here it is for you:

/ -> help if

if

Usage: if (condition) [then]

The if construct. If the condition is met, then the contents

of the if statement will be executed. An endif statement is

required to terminte the if clause. For example:

if ( $F == 1 ) then

echo Frame One

else

echo Another frame

endif

Note: In the current implementation, the statements for the

if clause must occur on separate lines. That is, statements

like "if ($F == 1) echo Frame One" will not work.

As you can see, endif is the terminator for the if statement in hscript.

yep that was the problem .. the if/for/end statements have to be on

seperate lines.. read the 'for' help, didn't read 'if' help ...doh!

...in the HDA and then opdef them in the callback line

are the nodes duplicated in the hda?...or just in the houdini session?

They are getting copied in the houdini session.
