"disable When"

[ciappo]

Hi guys,

does anybody knows how to use the string "Disable When" into the parameter VOP ??

Because I have a parameter that I want to disable when there is a Switch VOP toggled on (by anothere parameter of course).

Maybe the field Disable When is not used for that.. I'm asking because I can't find anything on the help..

Here a picture of what I'm talking about..

Thanks!!!

Cheers

pietro.

sure, just put the channel name that controls the disabling and the value for when you want your channel disabled and wrap it all up in curly brackets like this

{foo 0}

this will disable your channel when parameter foo is 0

Thank you man....

just because I'm dumb I'll post here what I've put in my Disable When field

{`chs("../Switch_To_Radial/toggledef")` 0}

I'm usind the channel reference because toggledef exist also for other parameter VOPs... is that correct?

Thanks Again!!

Hey I'm on this as well ... and even if the disable when works... i dont get the desired result..

Lemme explaing...

I'm looking for a solution to enable/disable the "lookat" feature using a toggle in my HDA... now I've got the Lookat parameter (where i choose the SOP to look at) that is enabled/disabled using a toggle parameter.. but the "looking at" object still "look at" the target... what I'd like is the availability to use or not a Camera Interest...

cheers.

p.s Have I been confusing enought?

Put something this in the Look At parm:

`ifs(ch("toggleme") == 0, "", "/obj/light1")`

-Backticks are needed in string fields to evaluate the parm.

-ifs() is needed to return a string (instead of plane jane if() which returns floats)

hm, h.parm("mantra_resolution").eval() menu returns int values but those dont work for disable?

Nor does the string value...

Is there anything special with menus?

EDIT:

ah, no quotes for the string value
