I am trying to fire a ChopExecute from a KeyboardCHOP that updates values inside a Replicated COMP. Everything works fine when I am one the save level as the CHOP and the DAT, but if I go up a level or if I enter Performance mode, for some reason the DAT fails to execute. Is this a known issue? I’ve tried using full paths as well and it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I set up something that did work where the KeyboardCHOP was on the top level, and the DAT was inside the Replicated COMP. This way of working doesn’t make sense for the operation I need to do.
If anyone has a good work about It would be a big help
Not sure if the Perform window is not receiving keyboard events in general or possibly, one of the two OPs is not cooking unless being looked at.
Do you have a toe file I can try?
Alternatively, you can try a Panel Execute DAT script set to trigger on the ‘key’ panel value.
That value will trigger with each keystroke pressed.
It might be a more direct approach.
As a third alternative, you could setup panel keyboard shortcuts, where you define a script to be run for specific keys pressed.
Thanks for the suggestions. I think using the panel “key” attribute is the way to go for the particular issue I have. As long as it’s workin’ I’m happy.
