Long story to explain why I need something like this. I've gotten way deeper in DOPs than I was expecting for this project. I need a way to deactivate a static object on a certain frame. Can't use an RBD (part of the long story and I'm using an RBD for something else).
How to I go about something like that? I tried plugging in enable solver node before static solver and it didn't take it.
It said connection to input 0 is the wrong type.
I also tried an active value node. Someone else helped with activation expressions because I don't know much about expressions and VEX yet.
Any suggestions are really appreciated!
Deactivate Static Solver? or static object during simulation?

Thank you for responding! I'm not sure how to do that. I want to deactivate the object at frame 95.
Would I attach the Switch DOP to the static object and write the expression if($F>94, 0, 1) in the select input? or wher edo I write it? I attached a photo of my node tree. I havent created a set up with switch and null DOPs before.

yes, whatever you have now, just plug Null DOP into second input of switch1
and put expression:
NOTE: and I know that you see everyone appending Static Solvers in the setups, but you really don't need them, you have 2 of them and you can delete both if you want, will not change a thing on your setup
and put expression:
$F>94
into Select Input parameterNOTE: and I know that you see everyone appending Static Solvers in the setups, but you really don't need them, you have 2 of them and you can delete both if you want, will not change a thing on your setup
