centroid() instead of $CEX?

[art3mis]

So apparently you cannot use $CEX, $CEY, CEZ anymore? 

I get a syntax error, invalid syntax!

But how would you use centroid() on the Pivot parameters of a Transform SOP inside a For Each block?

If I try

centroid(opinputpath("."),0)

I also get an error, 

Unable to Evaluate expression. Name 'centroid' is not defined

hmm...no errors for me...

No error for me as well,

if you want to use centroid expression, try

centroid("../foreach_begin1/", D_X)
centroid("../foreach_begin1/", D_Y)
centroid("../foreach_begin1/", D_Z)

Thanks!

hmmm...very strange.

Likely either a change or a BUG in newer Transform SOP??

 

I've attached a simple .hip that shows the error. I'm running 16.0.687 Linux

If I copy paste Transform SOP from 'older' .hip file the error goes away so I assume the SOP logic is contained within the actual saved .hip file, and not the application.

Hi there,

I had similar problem. You have python set as language, not Hscript.
