dop startframe in pop wrangle

[cudarsjanis]

Is there any easy way to access dop start frame and endframe in a pop wrangle?

My solution is to create attributes and then feed them into dops. But is there a better way to do that?

My wrangle:

float randVal = rand(@id);
i@birthFrame = floor(fit(randVal,0,1,@simStartFrame,@simEndFrame));

 

Thanks

You can simply reference the channel from VEX. Very similar to the expression you used in the Value field assignment.

float start_frame = ch("../startframe");
float end_frame = ch("../endframe");
float randVal = rand(@id);
i@birthFrame = floor(fit(randVal,0,1,start_frame,end_frame));

yeah. that should do the job.

Only there is no parameter called endframe, but I can ad one more parameter on dopnet node, and just put $RFEND there.

SO one node less then. good

Thanks
