Setting Up Local Variables From The Second Input

[doc]

Hi,

I was wondering how you'd go about setting up local variables from the second input

of your sop.

Things like $NX2, $TY2, $FOO2 etc.

is there a way to get setupLocalVars() to do this for you?

thanks

Hi Doc,

Did you find out anything about this? I've been asked to put together a SOP with this functionality and I'm not sure how to go about it.

Cheers,

Mike

Just figured it out the other day. I got a couple of things to do first but I'll post in an hour or two.

here you go

	myCurGdp[0] = gdp;
	myCurGdp[1] = inputGeo(1,context); 
	setupLocalVars();

	GU_Detail *igdp = (GU_Detail *) inputGeo(1, context);

...

	if (error() < UT_ERROR_ABORT && cookInputGroups(context) < UT_ERROR_ABORT)
	{
	FOR_ALL_OPT_GROUP_POINTS(gdp, myGroup, ppt)
	{
		myCurPt[0] = ppt;
		if(igdp!=NULL) {
			if (ppt->getNum() >= igdp->points().entries())
				myCurPt[1] = 0;
			else
				myCurPt[1] = igdp->points()(ppt->getNum());
		}

and that should do the trick, let me know if you run into trouble.
