I am looking for a way to include the export flag switch function of a chop node into it's encompassing HDA-network interface.
So I want to use this switch:

In this interface:



Does anyone knows how to do that? Would that maybe be a Python script?

Thanks

You don't. Use the export chop, it has a regular parameter for enabling the export.

To elaborate on jsmack, HDA's don't support any network changes. Unfortunately node flags fall under that umbrella: Locked HDA's do not support changing of node flags unless you unlock-change_flag-lock but then you have a new definition of your HDA.

So yes use the Export CHOP and use a Switch CHOP to switch between different branches if you have to and tie the switch parameter to the top of the asset.
There's at least one school like the old school!

Then that's the direction I am going to take then. Got it working already, thank you both for pointing it out.
