hapi.getParmStringValue function

Get single parm string value by name.

Usage

getParmStringValue(session: hapi.Session, node_id: int, parm_name: str, index: int, evaluate: bool) → int

Get single parm string value by name.

session

The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See hapi.Session for more on sessions. Pass None to just use the default in-process session.

node_id

The node id.

parm_name

The name of the parameter.

index

Index within the parameter’s values tuple.

evaluate

Whether or not to evaluate the string expression. For example, the string “$F” would evaluate to the current frame number. So, passing in evaluate = False would give you back the string “$F” and passing in evaluate = True would give you back “1” (assuming the current frame is 1).

Returns value as a int.
