Hi,
I am very new to Houdini.
I am following the waterfall tutorial from the SideFX archives.
I have reached the stage where it requires an If-Then Block.
I am using Version 15.5.565 and can't seem to find the required block.
If I open the provided scene file the block is there.

Any advice will be gratefully received.
Also any pointer to other whitewater tutorials would be helpful.

As this is my first post hopefully moderator approval won't take too long (I'm running out of hair to tear out!).

Thanks.

What do you mean isnt there?
if I type TAB and type if block is there. You can see the if block in the “Attribute VOP”, “Point VOP”, etc

Hi
The loop nodes have been updated since that tutorial was made. To add the old if node do the following:
- Open the Textport window
- Type “cd” + space
- Drag the attribute/point vop into the textport window so it reads someting like “cd /obj/box_object1/attribvop1” and press enter
- Type “opadd if”. This will insert the old if node into the vop node you dragged into the textport.

But i would strongly urge you to learn the new loop paradigm:
Loop master class [youtube.com]. It' a lot easier to use. You don't have to jump in and out of the logic-nodes all the time. Takes a little getting used to but it's worth it.
