Hey!
it there a reason this may be a bad habit to get used to for self referential stuff like this? generally should i use downstream chops or is stuff like this ok.
Self reference is perfectly fine, however you’re using the channel names/values produced by the OP. How you’d normally self-refer is through parameter references such as me.par.constant1value.
However note that Custom Parameters (or Internal Parameters) are a much better place to define parameters/variables for your project as Constant CHOPs are limited to holding floating point numbers (as opposed to integers, strings, op references, etc) as well as the sliders being non-functional for a lot of things as they go between 0 and 1 only.
I’ve made a video on this topic if you wanna check.
