jim_johnston Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Hey all, Im about to make a RBD emitter for some typography. I'd Like to know if there is a way to reference the number of a nodes name (e.g. blast1, blast2, blast3) within an expression (something like @textindex=@blastNUMBER??) to save me manually typing which group I would like to isolate? Cheers Jim Edited August 8, 2016 by jim_johnston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_johnston Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Nice one, got some help on the IRC and keyframe pointed me to the opdigits function too, but I missed out the pesky ' and only put @textindex=opdigits("."). Very useful function.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_johnston Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Ha the devil is in the detail. Now I have this set-up, is it possible to make it even more procedural by setting the amount of node chains to the number of characters from the font node? Some sort of For Loop maybe?
