Hello guys.
I'm just thinking about how can I connect more than 4 nodes to wrangles or VOPS.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
If you right click on the Wrangle and select “Type Properties…”, there is an option to set the number of inputs on the basic tab.

Thank you.
I already knew this but the problem is for VOPS the number of inputs grayed out for some reason and you can't change that.
wrangles contain a VOP inside of themselves which you can increase number of inputs but additional inputs are not connecting to anywhere (you can't connect them to VOP because it already has 4 connections)
Is there another way or it is current limitation of Houdini?

Under the gear menu, select “Add spare input”. Spare inputs require you to enter the path to the node being connected, rather than wiring in directly. Another feature of spare inputs is that they index starting at -1, with additional inputs numbering more negative.
