Hello, I am new to Touchdesigner and have a quick question.

I have a project that recognizes hand gestures and sends them out. The fingers are recognized (finger up = 1, finger down = 0) and then combined with the other fingers. The result is a hand gesture that is defined as a combination of fingers.

I would now like the output of the last operator on the image to correspond to the name of the operator (pinky). Currently, it only sends the value of the operator.

Is there a way to send both the name and the value as output?

Hi @dominia,

depending on the type of the operator, you can rename the channel via the Rename From and Rename To parameters on the operator’s Common page. You could also use an expression here to make this renaming automatic by referencing the operator’s name: me.name

Hope this helps
