Hello,


I did this tutorial (POP exercise) and all works fine in Houdini 7.
When I load the scene in houdini 8 , I get a “yellow error flag” on file1…file4 nodes, saying:

“use of param() function is absolete. Use stamp() instead”.

Does anyone knows what this means and how to eliminate this error? (how I can change this with stamp()…)

Thanks

Hi Bernard,

It is not an error. It's just a warning. Errors are red flags while warnings are yellow.

The new stamp() has a slightly different syntax than param() but param() will still work for your network. A good tip to know on how to use any function is to open the textport (Windows -> Textport or type Alt+Shift+t) and type the following:
exhelp stamp

Or you can use the Search in the Help Browser to find more information. Also, have you tried to open the help for the Copy SOP? There should be some info there too.

Cheers!

Thanks Steven.
