Houdini 20.5 Nodes APEX nodes

graph::FindNode

Finds a node in an APEX graph based on a node path.

On this page
Since 20.0

Finds a node ID in an APEX graph based on a path. If the node to find is not in a subnet, the name of the node can be used directly in path. If the node is in a subnet or in nested subnets, the path must be defined in the following way, similar to a file path:

/<subnet_name>/<node_name>

If the node cannot be found, an invalid node ID is returned. The Convert<ApexNodeID, Bool> node can be used to determine whether or not a node ID is valid.

Inputs

graph: ApexGraphHandle

The graph that contains the node to find.

path: String

The path that identifies the node to find. If the node is in a subnet, specify the subnet folder directory and the name of the node, for example, /my_subnet_name/my_node_name.

Outputs

nodeid: ApexNodeID

The unique node identifier, created at run time, that represents the node found in the graph.
