Export channel node
A convenient tool for exporting channels.
The Export chop is a convenient tool for exporting channels. It allows you to match a chop’s channels with different destination channels, without needing to rename the channels. It also provides an enable input to turn exporting on or off on a frame by frame basis.
The first input contains the channels to export.
The second input should contain one channel. This channel controls the exporting of the channels in the first input; if it is 1 at a frame, the channels will be exported for that frame, if it is 0, they will not be exported.
Parameters
Channels | The list of source channels. Not all channels need to be listed (unlisted channels will not be exported). The order these channels are listed is important; they will be matched to the paths in the 'Path' parameter in the same order. |
Node | This is the path to the node(s) to export to. It is concatenated with the Path field to form the complete path to the channel to override. For example, if Node is “/obj/model” and Path is “tx”, the channel “/obj/model/tx” will be overridden. The resulting path will be globbed, so a Node of “/obj/*” and Path of “tx” will match any channel named tx in any node inside |
Path | The list of destination channels. If there are more destination channels than source channels, export will loop back through the source channels until all destination channels have been matched. |
