Bugs

Hello Peoples •ᴗ•

Currently having an issue where a Script DAT do not recook as it should, I have made a .toe file so you can easily open and see what the issue is in detail with examples

To summarize the setup a a Script DAT is feed a “seconds” parameter from a reference to timeline CHOP. This Script DAT then floor this value and .write() on himself the floored value.

This Script DAT correctly cook when you look at it, but when it is not in the viewport anymore it stops.

Weird thing is, if we directly reference the parameter from the Timeline CHOP in the Script DAT code instead of using a parameter, then there is no bug.

Everything can be seen in the .toe bellow :

EDIT : I know have access so i’ve linked the .toe

Hey @Pakreht

Looking into it.

That being said, you know you can do it all with just CHOPs ?

Hello @JetXS

I know there are a better way, but it’s not the first time I run into cook issues related to Script Operator and would love to understand how it happens and how to prevent it, thus the post !

Thanks for your investigation •ᴗ•

Hi @Pakreht

We do not have a public facing issue tracker nor do we usually share ETAs.
