Flickering warning on chop to top

General TouchDesigner Discussion

I have triggered CHOP values converting to TOPs for utilising in the Speedy TOP world I now inhabit as much as possible - but, although they work perfectly, there is flickering warnings on them - which is obviously terrifying …

ALSO !! seeings I have attracted the attention of the Expert !! I am also doing my best to use Python as much as possible, including sacking INfo CHOP wherever, and - what is syntax for getting “Length”, num_channels etc from a CHOP - I have googled more than you would think without finding these…

thanks

Hi @jellyhorse,

it would be good to see your network - I can only guess that maybe you have a recursive loop in your network.

There are many great reasons where Python should be or must be used but CHOPs are highly optimized and in many cases it is unnecessary and counter productive to use python to replace their functionality.

to get the number of samples of a CHOP or the number of channels, have a look at the CHOP Class

# number of samples
op('wave1').numSamples

# number of channels
op('pattern1').numChans

Hope this helps
cheers

Hi @jellyhorse,

:upside_down_face:

unfortunately I can’t see any flickering warnings.
Could you add a Error DAT and pulse the Log Current Errors parameter to see the warning message?

cheers

yeah i will - but the very quick workaround is to just refernce the Trigger Chop in a constant, and use that. So its obviously something just beyond my understanding about TimeSlicery etc…
thanks tho…have just come up with another exciting concept in my TOP journey…I knew I could use Lookup TOPs in my world of craziness!! I will send u an example of my 60fps TOP 30x30x30 one day …
