Hi,

Can we create a digital asset that uses a single input 0 and multiple inputs after?
I've seen this for some nodes inside Houdini although I can’t find them right now. But I made a Photoshop montage of what I would like to do. The first input on the left is the mandatory one and all others are using a bar like the right part of the input.

Possible to do currently?
Thx!

Christian

this isn't currently possible for user defined nodes.

Can I achieve it with HDK?
I couldn't find the HDK code to achieve it

The only thing you can do is set the input amount to a value, as in the figure below, to 28+ (depends on the gui scale?), to merge the inputs into a single one - but this does not behave exactly like the input in the merge op.

Thank you for response.
But I need single + multi.
Because I need to type different things, I need to make a distinction.

Would certainly be a good addition to the HDA definition.

Resurrecting this thread to add my voice to this. It would indeed be great to have in a lot of situations.
