Is there a list of all the variables $ (local variables?) somewere?.
i'm having a hard time knowing what var dose what in example filles for instance.

Thank you, Tamis van der Laan.

In the help on each node there is a list of local variables that can be used.

this has been an ongoing source of WTF posts for years.
what I'd like to see is a popup menu that lists available
attributes for that field, displayed exactly as you would
need to type them.
so when you type “$” it lists all available attributes, “$M” brings
up all available attributes beginning with “$M” and so on…

either that or fix it so that if you can see an attribute in a node's
middle-click info you can just type it in, no more bloody attrib-creates
to get at attributes that already ‘exist’.

also it would be great if the attribute name and the local variable were
one and the same, EG: uv = $uv, hitpos = $hitpos, p = $p, etc…

that would defenatly help, that way i could memory's them aswel.

Bah, popups listing all the local variables within a node is so Houdini 2.5.

:wink:

Are you talking about _attributes_ or _local_variables_?
