can I use increment in the name of an attribute or variable

[Valent]

Hi, I'd like to create some attributes inside a loop (for/foreach)  and I need them to have the loop number as the part of their name. Can I do that?

sure, name as example, I've left the name node in there but same as creating an attribute name.

fin case you mean VEX for loop, here is one:

float default = 0.0;
for (int i=0; i<10; i++){
    string name = "attrib" + itoa(i);
    addpointattrib(0, name, default);
}

of course you can directly use setpointattrib() which will create one if doesnt exist as well as sets values, but really depends on what you are trying to do

@Noobini I was looking for VEX solution but Thanks anyway, it is good to have a working example. 

@anim Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for! so I was thinking in the right direction but messed up the syntax) (that defvalue[] in the 'adpointattrib' was quite confusing)

not to worry, someone else might find it useful
