I was watching the wrangle-workshop tutorial

I tried to create a custom variable using the addvariablename VEX function in the pointwrangle node. The following works in Houdini 12.5, 13 BUT errors out in Houdini 14 & 15.


f@num = @P.x;
addvariablename(“num”,“NUM”);

Please can some one guide me.
Thanks

in h15 you really dont need the variable names any longer

instead of using the $NUM variable when the tutorial calls for it simply use the @num as you would in the wrangle

not sure if they broke something with addvariablename, but again its moot in h15

addvariablename() in the CVEX contexts needs which geometry to add to..

addvariablename(geoself(), ‘num’, ‘NUM’);

The point wrangle SOP in 14+ is an attribute wrangle, rather than a wrapper on VOP SOP to make all our contexts consistent.

But, as noted, the need for variable mappings is greatly reduced in H15.
