I want to be able plug an undetermined number of meshes (that are placed inside a level in UE4) into an hda. After that I want the hda to do something with the transforms (location, rotation, and scale in UE4) of these meshes.
So in two questions:
How do I set up an hda parameter for the (static mesh) actor input so that I can add an undetermined amount of actors?
How do I get the unreal world transform values for these actors?
How would you get the transforms of an object plugged into an hda in Unreal Engine?

The Unreal plugin has a new input type called “World Outliner Input”. With this, you can input multiple Actors from the scene into a single input on the asset. What this does in Houdini is create a Merge SOP that puts together all the input meshes from the input Actors and passes it to the asset's input.
Knowing this, you can go back up the input to the asset and find the list of input meshes (which are in their own OBJ nodes) and get their transforms.

damianHi, I googled this because Im trying to do the same thing. I don't know how to begin to do what you've described, but it looks like what I need. Could you please elaborate?
