Note
Regardless of the value, when calling this function on a parameter, if that parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.
In threaded mode, this is an async call!

This API will invoke the cooking thread if threading is enabled. This means it will return immediately. Use the status and cooking count APIs under DIAGNOSTICS to get a sense of the progress. All other API calls will block until the cook operation has finished.

Also note that the cook result won't be of type HAPI_STATUS_CALL_RESULT like all calls (including this one). Whenever the threading cook is done it will fill the cook result which is queried using HAPI_STATUS_COOK_RESULT.

Parameters
[in]sessionThe session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]node_idThe node id.
[in]parm_idParameter id of the parameter being updated.

Note
Regardless of the value, when calling this function on a parameter, if that parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.

Set single parm float value by name.

Note
Regardless of the value, when calling this function on a parameter, if that parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.
In threaded mode, this is an async call!

This API will invoke the cooking thread if threading is enabled. This means it will return immediately. Use the status and cooking count APIs under DIAGNOSTICS to get a sense of the progress. All other API calls will block until the cook operation has finished.

Also note that the cook result won't be of type HAPI_STATUS_CALL_RESULT like all calls (including this one). Whenever the threading cook is done it will fill the cook result which is queried using HAPI_STATUS_COOK_RESULT.

Parameters
[in]sessionThe session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]node_idThe node id.
[in]parm_nameThe parm name.
[in]indexIndex within the parameter's values tuple.
[in]valueThe float value.
HAPI_DECL HAPI_SetParmFloatValues ( const HAPI_Session session,
HAPI_NodeId  node_id,
const float values_array,
int  start,
int  length 
)

Set (push) an array of parameter float values.

Note
Regardless of the values, when calling this function on a set of parameters, if any parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.

Parameters
[in]sessionThe session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]node_idThe node id.
[in]values_arrayArray of floats at least the size of length.
[in]startFirst index of range. Must be at least 0 and at most HAPI_NodeInfo::parmFloatValueCount - 1.
[in]lengthMust be at least 1 and at most HAPI_NodeInfo::parmFloatValueCount - start.
HAPI_DECL HAPI_SetParmIntValue ( const HAPI_Session session,
HAPI_NodeId  node_id,
const char *  parm_name,

)

Set single parm int value by name.

[in]parm_nameThe parm name.
[in]indexIndex within the parameter's values tuple.
[in]valueThe int value.
HAPI_DECL HAPI_SetParmIntValues ( const HAPI_Session session,
HAPI_NodeId  node_id,
const int values_array,
int  start,
int  length 
)

Set (push) an array of parameter int values.

Parameters
[in]sessionThe session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]node_idThe node id.
[in]values_arrayArray of integers at least the size of length.
[in]startFirst index of range. Must be at least 0 and at most HAPI_NodeInfo::parmIntValueCount - 1.
[in]lengthMust be at least 1 and at most HAPI_NodeInfo::parmIntValueCount - start.
HAPI_DECL HAPI_SetParmNodeValue ( const HAPI_Session session,
HAPI_NodeId  node_id,
const char *  parm_name,
HAPI_NodeId  value 
)

Set a node id parm value of an Op Path parameter. For example, This is how you connect the geometry output of an asset to the geometry input of another asset - whether the input is a parameter or a node input (the top of the node). Node inputs get converted top parameters in HAPI.

Parameters
[in]sessionThe session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]node_idThe node id.
[in]parm_nameThe name of the parameter.
[in]valueThe node id of the node being connected. Pass -1 to disconnect.
HAPI_DECL HAPI_SetParmStringValue ( const HAPI_Session session,
HAPI_NodeId  node_id,
const char *  value,
HAPI_ParmId  parm_id,
int  index 
)

Set (push) a string value. We can only set a single value at a time because we want to avoid fixed size string buffers.

Note
Regardless of the value, when calling this function on a parameter, if that parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.

[in]sessionThe session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]node_idThe node id.
[in]valueThe string value.
[in]parm_idParameter id of the parameter being updated.
[in]indexIndex within the parameter's values tuple.
