returning a hou.Vector3 object in an expression

[beeemtee]

hi,

i'm trying switch to python expressions. if i try to return a Vector3 object to a parameter which expects a vector (POP velocity), like:

from hou import Vector3

return Vector3(1,1,1)

i got an error, something like:

...extra tokens detected...

what do I miss here?

thanks

I'm not sure python expressions properly support the vector form of parameters. I'd submit a bug with .hip file on sidefx.com

hmm, yes, that's not working but when i put 'from hou import Vector3' to python source shell and change the type of velocity from vector to component and set it to:

Vector3(1., 2., 3.)[0], Vector3(1., 2., 3.)[1], Vector3(1., 2., 3.)[2]

everything works.

so, it is really possible that this is smth like 'not-implemented'..

yeah, I know that, but then you have to manage three expression instead of one, which is really error prone and not nice.

It is a very nice idea to have this; please RFE it:)

I was going to post the same question.

just couldn't find the way of returning Vector3 in a single exp. :S

cheers
