Replaced by: hou.DopField, hou.DopData, hou.DopDataRecord
Usage
dopfields(dop, objectSpec, subDataName, recordType, recordNum, fieldName)
Since this function returns values as a string, it allows you to convert complex types such as vectors to the native type using the vector expression function.
See dopfield for more information.
Examples
vector(dopfields("/obj/dopnet1", "obj0", "Position", "Options", 0, "position"))
Gets the position of the object as a string and converts it into a vector.
dopfields("/obj/geo1/dopnet1", "Relationships/Spring_spring_constraint1", "", "ObjInGroup", 0, "objname")
Returns the name of the first object involved in a spring constraint relationship (e.g. "sphere2").
dopfields("/obj/geo1/dopnet1","sphere2","", "RelInGroup", 0, "relname")
Returns the name of the first relationship on an object (e.g. "Spring_spring_constraint1").
