Option to trigger a python function directly from a pulse parameter

being able to directly call a function from a pulse parameter would be a great time saver. We could have an extra field in the parameter dialog editor called “python execute”.

Having to go between the parameter editor and a parameter execute DAT begins to feel like a lot of double work.

I know I can just do something like this:

def onPulse(par):
	method = getattr(parent(), par.name)
	method()

But then I need to start naming all my functions without camel case, which doesn’t feel quite right.

Or this :innocent:

Other option would be to just allow custom fields per parameter.

Guess this is the closest I’ll get currently without hijacking fields

I have requested this as well, but got no traction. I will keep lobbying for it when the opportunity arises. For now, by-name functions in your extension is the way to go.

In the mean time, I’ll probably stick with something like this, but yeah, just having that field in the editor would be amazing.
