Hi there everybody,
I'm having trouble setting up a seemingly simple "if/else" conditional expression.
I would like to have it so that when a value in one node exceeds or comes under a certain value, another value in another node toggles between two given values.
For example, I want the "right" value in a SetDOD node to be 360 (and NO other value)when the "rotateY" value in a Move3D node is positive (>0) and when this is negative (<0, doh),
I want the SetDOD.right to be set to zero.
Now the manual says the proper syntax would be "expr1?expr2:expr3" which means as much as "If expr1 is true (non-zero), then do expr2, else do expr3".
Thus, in my case, my expression in the "right" field would be "Move3D1.yRotate>0?360:0"
Now wouldn't it? No it doesn't. I've tried (obviously) a couple of other weird self-made syntaxes to see if anything might work, but no results and now it's driving me crazy (you know the feeling...)
I'm clearly missing out on somepin' here I guess...any tips would be greatly appreciated...
Oh and please don't ask what I need it for, that's part of an even LONGER story so you'll very probably hear about that later :-)
thnx in advance folks and happy compin'...
