Please excuse such a basic question.

I want to read the value of an attribute and stick it into a parameter of a node.
How is this done in Houdini, please?

In my example, I am caching out a load of crowd agents.
The agentdefinitioncache node needs an agent name (string)
There is an attribute which contains a string called @agentname
HOW can I read that name and use it in the agentdefinitioncache ?

Seems such a basic thing but using backticks `@agentname` isn't doing it
I also tried point(0, “agentname”,0)
and detail(0, “agentname”, 0)
and details(0, “agentname”, 0)

I'm clearly missing a basic way of using Houdini properly.

Please help me out and put me straight.

Many thanks!

Nevermind.

I saw the “points()” function and that has worked.

Here it the full expression, so that I can use it next time, when I get confused by this rediculous software!
