It seems when you add a parameter to an animation using the parameter’s “Keyframe parameter in…” option that the export table Parameter in the out chop of the animation is getting set without quotes, so it breaks in python mode.
Oddly, i just noticed when trying it out in the new new 088 beta, and it indeed still breaks, but then once you add them manually it seems to hide them from you, so if you were to try and add them again, it will break again because the hidden quotes are still there! Make sense?
Thanks archo.
We’re looking into the bug.
As for the quotes being hidden, let us know if its not clear whether or not you are inputting quoted expressions, or literal quote-less string values.
We’re hoping its much cleaner in the latest experimental 088 UI overhaul.
this bug has been fixed in the experimental builds 088.8476 or later.
in the non experimental builds, when the parameter label is highlighted, you can see the expression. when it isn’t highlighted, it displays the value. Python strings are always expressions (constants are quoted strings), so that is why you see the “value” without quotes, but when you click on the field,.which triggers the expression mode, the quotes appear.
if you can, give the experimental build with the ui changes a go. the differences between constants and expressions are much more clear, and bonus, you won’t have to quote strings constants!
