OP Execute DAT
Summary[edit]
The OP Execute DAT runs a script when the state of an operator changes.
OP Execute DATs are created with default python method placeholders. For each monitored condition in the parameters, there is a matching python method in the DAT. When a condition is turned on in the parameters, each time that condition is satisfied the corresponding python method will be executed.
Parameters - OP Execute Page
Active active - While on, the DAT will respond to the OP that is referenced.
Execute from executeloc - ⊞ - (Tscript only) Determines the location the script is run from.
- Current Node
current- (Tscript only) The script is executed from the current node location.
- This Node
here- The script is executed from the parent of the DAT. The DAT executes from the parent to make siblings of the DAT easy to access: DAT scripts used to execute from inside the DAT.
- Specified Operator
op- The script is executed from the operator specified in the From Operator parameter below.
From Operator fromop - The path that the script will be executed from if the Execute From parameter is set to Specified Operator.
Monitor OPs op - Specify which operators to monitor to trigger the scripts.
Pre Cook precook - The onPreCook() method is triggered before the operator is cooked.
Post Cook postcook - The onPostCook() method is triggered after the operator is cooked.
Destroy opdelete - The onDestroy() method is triggered when the operator is deleted.
Flag Change flagchange - The onFlagChange() method is triggered when one of the operator's Flags changes state. This includes all the flags in the Common Flags list of an OP_Class, plus all the python accessible flags listed in COMP_Class, SOP_Class, CHOP_Class.
Wire Change wirechange - The onWireChange() method is triggered when the operator's inputs are rewired (connected, disconnected, swapped).
Name Change namechange - The onNameChange() method is triggered when the name of the operator is changed.
Path Change pathchange - The onPathChange() method is triggered when the path of the operator is changed.
UI Change uichange - The onUIChange() method is triggered when operator is resized or moved in the network editor.
Number Children Change numchildrenchange - The onNumChildrenChange() method is triggered if the number of children an operator has changes. Only works with Component type operators.
Child Rename childrename - The onChildRename() method is triggered if a child of the operator is renamed.
Current Child Change currentchildchange - The onCurrentChildChange() method is triggered if a child of the operator is made current in a network. Only works with Component type operators.
Extension Change extensionchange - The onExtensionChange() method is triggered when an extension of the operator is changed.
Edit.. edit - Clicking this opens a text editor to edit text in the DAT.
