creating neighbour attribute

[Blacklisted_Guy]

So I recently started using vex and I needed to add an attribute.

I tried using this:
int count= neighbourcount("0", @ptnum);
setpointattrib(0, "ncount", @ptnum, count);
I added an attribute called "ncount" in a attribute create before hand.

another thing I tried was this:
int count= neighbourcount("0", @ptnum);
addattrib(geoself(), point, "ncount", count);

 

didn't work either.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

Maybe in the attribute create node you created ncount in the Primitive context, not the Point context (examine success in the Geometry spreadsheet)?

Try creating it in the vex node like so.

i@ncount = 0;

 

Then follow up with the rest of your code.

It did create the attribute. For some reason the value remains 0 though

If your Wranlge node is running over points, you don't need to use "setpointattribute". You can just assign the value directly like this:

int count = neighbourcount(0, @ptnum);
@ncount = count;

-b

That worked!

Thank you so much!

i@ncount = 0;

int count= neighbourcount("0", @ptnum);
setpointattrib(0, "ncount", @ptnum, count);

Your code could work if you killed the "" in neighbourcount("0",@ptnum);
