Guys,

I posted this about 6 months ago, and now have forgotten how to do it. Can someone refresh my memory please?

How do I access an attribute which I have on my geometry in DOP's? If I go to the details view I can view the attributes but I can't seem to access them with dopfield et al as there are too many tokens in the dopfield expression. E.g.

My attribute lives at:-

/obj/bridge_break>chunk1_0>Geometry>source

'source' being the attribute name. The dopfield expression takes extra tokens expecting the field you are trying to access to be in a deeper nesting. E.g.:-

/obj/bridge_break>chunk1_0>Position>Options>0>ty

I have tried dopoption also but no joy. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dean.

P.S. Still using 8.2.66 guys…!

For accessing geometry, just use the SOP expression functions like point, prim, etc. Something like:
point(“ /obj/bridge_break:chunk1_0/Geometry”, ptnum, “Source”, index)

All expression functions for accessing geometry accept DOP Geometry data in place of a SOP path.

Aha! Except volume queries against DOP fields, like volumesample(), etc
:twisted:

Oh ho! But I only said these queries work against Geometry data in DOPs, not Field Data!

Hmm…I thought it might be something like that and actually tried it. Maybe I had some syntax wrong somewhere. It stands to reason that it would work though. I'll give it another whirl.

Thanks guys…

Damn you, Mark.
