Operator order? - m_mstds - 03-22-2023

Hi all,

Just a quick one, still learning TyFlow. I just wanted to know if operator order matters in Tyflow and if so, how can I understand what goes where?

Many thanks,

Yes, order matters.

Operators are evaluated from top to bottom in each event, and events are evaluated in order starting with any event containing a Birth operator.

You can also right-click in the editor to display event evaluation order, and click on an event to change its priority to control its order further.

Thank you.

Regarding the load order from top to bottom within each event, could you say that as a whole, the operator list and the different coloured sections are also a good indication to what comes first? from left to right, it seems like each section makes sense logically..birth section (green), "forces" (blue) section next... export settings last (peach) etc?

Maybe coincidentally, but besides "Birth" operators being first, there wasn't a specific plan in place to have operator importance shift from left to right.
