rod.vfx.td Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Hello guys! I'm trying to get different $WEDGE variable to filename, the problem is... my setup has 2 WEDGES wired, 1 linear values, other random, and each Wedge node have a unique wedge prefix.. when i call $WEDGE in file writer, or even on "Font" node, i see only first prefix on variable... what causes all subsequent random interactions overriding files on disk. same problem using $WEDGENUM on wired WEDGES the setup on OUT context is: WEDGE_Linear (prefix wedge_lin) | | WEDGE_Random (prefix wedge_rand) on $WEDGE call i see only: _wedge_lin_parm_0 _wedge_lin_parm_1 _wedge_lin_parm_2 _wedge_lin_parm_0 (this overwrite filenames) _wedge_lin_parm_1 (this overwrite filenames) _wedge_lin_parm_2 (this overwrite filenames) but i need unique concatenated names: _wedge_lin_parm_0__wedge_lin_rand_0 _wedge_lin_parm_1__wedge_lin_rand_0 _wedge_lin_parm_2__wedge_lin_rand_0 _wedge_lin_parm_0__wedge_lin_rand_1 _wedge_lin_parm_1__wedge_lin_rand_1 _wedge_lin_parm_2__wedge_lin_rand_1 Any ideas how to get a unique name for writing with WEDGES wired together?

kiroul Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hello, I was asking myself the same question few days ago. You can use $WEDGENUM, so it should work with a simple wedge setup, But I don't know if you link 2 wedge node together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod.vfx.td Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 no, $WEDGENUM have same problem on wired WEDGES, but with numbers... the result is 0,1,2,0,1,2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebucadnezar Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Hello rod.vfx.td, A dirty hack is to not use wedge variables but directly referencing the parameter you are wedging in the name of the file. Of course this only works if you are wedging one parameter per wedge node. Hope this can help you!

rod.vfx.td Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Already tried, but not work because a Non-random (linear) wedge is concatenated. if i have more than 1 wedged parameter on linear wedge, one is interated on other, impossibiliting the hack to be practical. i think the $WEDGENUM need be "revisited" by sideFX, because this limitation is really bad. the solution is have a $WEDGENUM return a PRODUCT number of all wired wedges interactions. (this is what i believe from beginning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
