Hi everyone,

I have run into an issue with the GETSET_DATA_FUNCS (GETSET_DATA_FUNCS_F, GETSET_DATA_FUNCS_B, etc.)

It used to be (with versions < 17) that I was able to do:


where GetTestName() returns a char*, e.g. “test”.

If I do this now with Houdini 17.0.352, I get:

error C2665: ‘UT_StringLit::UT_StringLit’: none of the 3 overloads could convert all the argument types
c:\program files\side effects software\houdini 17.0.352\toolkit\include\ut\ut_stringholder.h(94): note: could be ‘UT_StringLit::UT_StringLit(UT_StringLit &&)’
c:\program files\side effects software\houdini 17.0.352\toolkit\include\ut\ut_stringholder.h(94): note: or ‘UT_StringLit::UT_StringLit(const UT_StringLit &)’
c:\program files\side effects software\houdini 17.0.352\toolkit\include\ut\ut_stringholder.h(59): note: or ‘UT_StringLit::UT_StringLit(void)’


Is there any way to make it work like it used to? Do I need to cast my function return value?

I know it is working if I do:

a)

or

b)

But I would like to keep using my existing api that has functions to return me the names I need.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Sorry for the late response. Just wanted you to know that the new build worked perfectly.
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

I am trying to export a rigged, skinned and animated character to fbx but I keep getting a warning that I have never seen before:

“Warning: Cregion's container node was not exported to file.”

Does anyone know what exactly could be causing this?

Thanks a lot in advance.
