tagosaku Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Hi, I am learning python script, and try to control global variables by python. Basially I want to input a string'$RFSTART' or '$FSTART', instead of evaluated frame number. It seems to work if I directly type '$RFSTART' into Variables window. Is that possible to type '$xxx' from a shelf tool ? (please see first photo) My idea is probably not working because I guess global variables are not designed to store '$' itself. On the other hands, Houdini's standard 'render flipbook' show $RFSTART $RFEND as default and still memorize user's custom input values too. I wonder how this sytem works.. Ultimately, I want to create a custom flipbook setting window. (please see second photo). My understanding is the scripted window cannot memorize input values. Therfore, when I change their values, close the window and open it again, all uniques values are gone. Thus, I am considering to store those values into global variables. Storing values could be intgers, strings, $HIP, $XXX, and so on. If we have better ideas, let me know! Thank you!!
