How to find all references to a specific special variable April 23, 2024, 4:55 p.m.

Hey!

Say I want to find all the parameters that reference $FSTART. How could I do it?

Thanks!

What is the point of the geohandle on setpointattrib March 22, 2024, 11:33 a.m.

Ah, I think I found the answer. From the documentation:

"A handle to the geometry to write to. Currently the only valid value is 0 or geoself, which means the current geometry in a node. (This argument may be used in the future to allow writing to other geometries.)"

What is the point of the geohandle on setpointattrib March 22, 2024, 11:30 a.m.

Hi!

Reading the documentation [www.sidefx.com] for the setpointattribfunction, we see that the first input in its signature is geohandle:

int  setpointattrib(int geohandle, string name, int point_num, <type>value, string mode="set")

I'm confused though. Why would setting it to anything other 0 be useful? I don't see how those values could be retrieved, because the output of the wrangle only comes from geohandle 0, right?

Maybe I'm missing something, but a friend just asked me this question and it made me think a bit, haha.

Thanks!
