Houdini 11 Expression functions

Returns type information about a node.

Usage

optypeinfo(name, pattern)

Unlike optype which just returns a node’s type, this allows you to specify a string of parameters which will cause different things to be output.

The pattern string may contain the following characters.

N

The name of the node. For “/obj/geo1”, this would be “geo1”.

r

The type of the node, same as in optype. For “/obj/geo1”, this would be “geo”.

e

The type’s label. For “/obj/geo1”, this would be “Geometry”.

n

The network type of the operator. For “/obj/geo1”, this would be “OBJ”.

s

The script path of the operator. For “/obj/geo1”, this would be “obj”.

i

The operator’s index. This number corresponds to the network type.

T

The table name of the operator. For “/obj/geo1”, this would be “Object”.

t

The operator type. For “/obj/model”, this would be “geo”.

Examples

optypeinfo("/obj/geo1", "NtT")

"geo1 geo Object"
