tyFlow v1.124

[tyFlow]

tyFlow v1.124 is up!

https://pro.tyflow.com

Additions:

* new Value operator paradigm integration has begun, where operator spinner values can be controlled using Value operators - see Value operator page in docs for more info. Most operators are already supported.
* added Restore operator (see docs for more info)
* added MXS functions to check tyFlow load time in a scene ("tyFlow_print_scene_load_time" - see docs for more info)
* tyActor helper can now display object name in view
* added soft selection noise rollout to tySelect modifier
* added coordinate conversion option for secondary mapping channels to Export Particles Alembic mesh exporter

Fixes:

* fixed an issue where certain PhysX setups could crash if a particle had a scale of zero in any axis
* fixed an internal data caching issue that could cause the Pathfinding operator to crash
* fixed an issue where small triangle-triangle intersections in the Birth Intersections operator, and tyMeshToSplines modifier would generate artifacts
* Birth operator seed will now affect the internal starting seed of particles (this change won't have any effect on old scenes unless a Birth operator's seed is set to something other than default)
* fixed an OpenVDB threading issue that could cause the Birth Fluid operator to crash when simulating foam/bubbles
* fixed an issue where the tySelect modifier could produce artifacts if threading hints disabled in the CPU rollout of a tyFlow object
* fixed a regression that caused tyActor bind pose matching to stop working in recent builds
* fixed an issue where tyParticleSkin element matching was no longer working
* creating operator connections is now more forgiving - you can drag a connection anywhere into an operator in order to complete it - not just inside the connection node
* fixed an issue where changing the map channel value of a Terrain Mesh operator could cause a crash
* fixed an issue in the Displace operator where world-space texture displacement wasn't happening in the correct coordinate system
* fixed tyFlow DLO initialization errors in 3ds Max 2018 and 2019

I am trying to decipher this new build - the expression part (it would be nice if it supported Print - so you can debug)

if(pAge<5){10}else{50}

this comes up green as if the code correct to use

but the test against age seems to do nothing,it always scales in the Z to 10 whether the frames are less than 5 or greater than 5

am I formatting or doing something wrong

to me the above expression says - if age is less than 5 then scale 10 in the z, if its greater than equal to 5 scale 50 in the z

the flow is just a single box (birth obj) / scale op + value op on z scale / expression (as above)

Is your Scale op timing set properly?

It was timing - I didn't think to refer back to original op for time, i looked for it in the value op - deeh

Thanks Mate -
