Hi, I'm learning python in houdini now and I saw recently that when I use some nodes and want to script their channelsI can only use HScript… Is that true? F.E. (see image below) I made curve (2points), then resample and then i added point node - I want to be sinusoidal. My default scripting language is pytho - when i write sin(($TX+$F/1000)*600)/5 - eveything works (but it's Hscript - isn't it?) and when i want to use something like hou.frame() it doesn't work.
WHEN I'M USING OTHER NODES THE EXPRESSIONS FROM PYTHON (f.e. hou.frame() ) are working.
Additional the “windows” are red and when I switch to Hscript the're green.

I really please about help
He there! After changing default expression language for a node, delete any existing expression in parameters. $TX for example is not a valid python expression, so putting hou.frame() at the front of it doesn't make sense.
- change expression language - delete existing channeles ( Ctrl+Shift+LMB) - do your stuff (with hou.lvar(“TX”) call to access local variables)
hope this helps, skk.
PS red background means that the expression in a parameter is of another type then a one specified as default for a node. If default is python, red bk have hscript expressions and vice versa.
Thank you so much Symek! Always when I need help you're the best “houdini encyclopedia”
Ou and now I have to ask about something else: is calling “hou.lvar(”TX“)” the only method to access variable tx? or can I use something like parm(“tx”)?
thank you Is there any list of commands like this one? When I'm for example using Hscript and I click on question mark I'm getting list of all Hscript local variables, but with python I have to use other structures or as Symek has wrote, I have to use something like hou.lvar(“…”). Is there any table with only “python ways” to access these vars?
