I've got a Wire Object Dop with a “Creation Frame” set to 12. (btw, this is the cause of the problem it seems!) Then there's a Wire Constraint and a Wire Solver appended to that. A simple wire dop setup..
At Frame-1, the Object Merge Sop which extracts the DOPs geom is yellow. The warning says:
“Invalid Sop Specified: /obj/dopnet1:wireobject1/Geometry”.Okay. Sure. The trouble is it stays yellow, past frame 12 when there is DOP geometry! For example, at frame-14, if some toggles are clicked on the Object Merge Sop, it recooks and all is good.
Putting a Switch Sop below the Object Merge, and switching to it after frame-12 doesn't help as the Object Merge Sop stays yellow (no geometry is extracted from Dops). Perhaps the Wire Object Creation Frame must be “1”, and the geometry going into DOP's has to be dummied for frames 1-12..
Is there some trick to make the Object Merge Sop re-check for valid DOP's Geometry?
cheers,
ben.
