promote and link a ramp with python Sept. 8, 2017, 1:26 p.m.

Hey guys sorry to revive this topic. I'm running into the same issue and i've tried what you were saying Edward and think I got the syntax right but its not working. It seems I'm missing something

as an example I have a geo1 node in /obj with two nulls, null1 and null2. I added a float ramp on each of them with the same name called parm

and then I try to run this in the textport :
opmultiparm /obj/geo1/null1 'parm#pos' '../null2/parm#pos' 'parm#value' '../null2/parm#value' 'parm#interp' '../null2/parm#interp'

this yields nothing like nothing happened. However if I run

opmultiparm /obj/geo1/null1

if outputs :

opmultiparm null1 'parm#pos' '../null2/parm#pos' 'parm#value' '../null2/parm#value' 'parm#interp' '../null2/parm#interp'

I also tried creating a subnetwork with a null and a ramp and then promoting it from the subnetwork and its connected it works

I then run

opmultiparm /obj/geo1/subnet1/null1

It will output :

opmultiparm null1 'parm#pos' '../parm#pos' 'parm#value' '../parm#value' 'parm#interp' '../parm#interp'

So then I tell myself ok then lets create another subnetwork with a null that has a ramp parameter called parm. Create a ramp parameter on the subnetwork also called parm and run the same thing as what it outputed just previously:

so I run

opmultiparm /obj/geo1/subnet2/null1 'parm#pos' '../parm#pos' 'parm#value' '../parm#value' 'parm#interp' '../parm#interp'

Nothing happens. I move and add stuff on the ramp on the subnet but the null ramp just ignores it

I check its connected by using


opmultiparm /obj/geo1/subnet2/null1

and it outputs


opmultiparm null1 'parm#pos' '../parm#pos' 'parm#value' '../parm#value' 'parm#interp' '../parm#interp'

same as with the subnet which I manually promoted the ramp.

Is there another step I am missing to get this to work ? I feel I've tried everything you mentioned here and in other threads on odforce or anything I could find

Thanks for the help
