I have a RBD point object and I am trying to set the initial velocity with a sop attribute.
I made a vector attribute called usevel and gave it a y component of 11.
If I check the detail pane in the DOP network I can see that usevel is indeed set to but it does not have an effect.
If I set the velocity of the initial state manually (in DOP) then it works.
Why then does it not use my attribute supplied value?
point velocity in DOP

Well, if you look in the details pane of the dops network it sets the usevel value to the one you enter in the initial veocity, and uses that velocity. If I set it from an attribute in sops it displays the value correctly but doesn't use it. And hovering above the parameter gives the name usevel.
Soo….I dunno. I'm just trying to understand how the dops *think* but it makes little sense to me. :shock:

1. this vector only exists, because You tell the dopobject to copy all parameters, so they are copied onto the object, but houdini can not use it.
2. usevel is another parameter that only tells houdini where to get the velocity from. click on the edit parameter button on the object and see, that there are 2 independent parameters, integer usevel and vector v.
