visual indication of scripted parameters ?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

I have a selectDAT that is controlled by another script:

op('select1').par.rowindexstart = randNum
op('select1').par.rowindexend = randNum

It works fine, but in my selectDAT there is no indication in my parameters that the index parameters are linked to a script(besides the changing values). Is this a feature request or is there some hidden way to show this connection and its source path ?

there is currently no dependencies created if you assign a parameter via a script. I think it’ll be a little hard to add, the assignments may be nested in loops and the parameters may not be updated when the script is called, and you are setting the indices to a constant values repeatedly.

however, you could create the “dependency” yourself by docking the script to the select DAT it is modifying. that way there’s a visual connection between the two.
