Vex: Create a vector/quaternion with literals (x,y,z) and (r,g,ba)

[schiho]

In Vex I create a vector as following:

 

 

    v@test = set(1,2,3);

 

However this results in vector with indexes
(test[0], test[1], test[2])

 

How do I have it so that i actually uses literals
(test[x], test[y], test[z])

You can address the components of vectors using v@test.x, v@test.y, v@test.z in VEX. If you mean the appearance of the vector components in the Geometry Spreadsheet, you can use the setattribtypeinfo() VEX command to set the type to one of the defined types in the help page: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/setattribtypeinfo.html

look at the setattribtypeinfo vex function

Thanks guys, was actually looking for setattribtypeinfo. Need this to write alembics, as that changes the alembic type for that attribute too.
