You can use the Copy or For Each sop.

Hello Graham and Farid,

I tried with your example but there is a problem I m using groups and cannot figure out how to make it work can you please have a look at my posted hip file.Its using a fractured bgeo so please load it up as well thanks.

The problem is in the expression for the object name you are attempting to reference in the Copy and Point Sops.

frag_* + stamp() isn't what you want since your object names are frag##_

"frag" + padzero(2,stamp("..","FORVALUE",0)) + "_" will work correctly.

The padzero is necessary since your group names are 00, 01, ... 20 and the stamp value is 0, 1, ... 20.

Hello Graham,

I tried it but it didn't work. I am posting the hip file again with changed expressions in place.

thanks

The problem is that all your expressions are wrong syntax wise.

In the Copy sop you have:

dopnumrecords("/obj/AutoDopNetwork","frag" + padzero(2, stamp("..","FORVALUE",0),"Impacts","Impacts"))+"_"

The '+"_" is in the wrong place. It should be

dopnumrecords("/obj/AutoDopNetwork", "frag" + padzero(2, stamp("..","FORVALUE",0)) + "_", "Impacts" ,"Impacts")

The same little problem occurs in the Point Sop expression as well.

Attached is a working version.

Thanks Graham ,

Its working perfect.

why are u using 10 * npoints(opinputpath("../",0))??

I will be using this system for my fallen object so as they fall they should emit sprites so that i can apply dust shader onto them .It will definitely be a lot of help.

Thanks alot for helping me out here.
