Making a Kinect switch video files

I’m currently working on using kinect to play video in a phone device, currently I have the chop system using math and logic CHOPS in order to create a motion driven way to switch through video files in what is meant to be a hologram projector. The video files are managed using the switch TOP and I find myself wondering if there is an expression that could link my logic CHOP status of true or false with the value on my switch TOP index attribute.

Here are some screenshots of my current node sequences (please note that I’m intending to use a second monitor dual cast to make the hologram happen, since I’ve just had around 2 weeks in the program overall)

Any help is greatly appreciated, and maybe you can tell me how messed up my logic nodes wound up being haha

To connect a channel to a parameter in the Switch TOP, look up CHOP Exporting or CHOP Referencing.
You can learn how to do this in our TouchDesigner Curriculum here: https://youtu.be/EvuUxuDvc8M?si=vdzlzmgTZj0Hbe5Y&t=300

Since you are just getting started, I’d recommend taking the whole 101 Fundamentals Course here in our Curriculum, each vid is 5-6 minutes long so its easy to get through and it will give you the foundational knowledge to go and attack more difficult tasks and tutorials out there.

Thanks, I’ll make sure to check the curriculum to expand my knowledge on the program overall.
