How to use the name param on sop::packfolder node in APEX? Aug. 25, 2024, 10:06 p.m.

It seems the reason the set dict bool node causes the APEX graph to stop working is because as of H20.5, in-place ports on nodes must have something connected to it. see here [www.sidefx.com]

How to use the name param on sop::packfolder node in APEX? Aug. 24, 2024, 6:12 p.m.

Got it to work by looking how they did it in the components. Still, any necessary tips or information on why it has to be done this way and tips for consistency are very welcome!

Also on a sidenote, it seems when certain nodes are in an APEX graph and not doing anything, they can cause the whole graph to NOT work. In my case, I had a "set dict bool" node that I was experimenting with just sitting in the graph not connected to anything and the whole graph stopped outputting data. That surely surely has to be a bug so I'll report it.

How to use the name param on sop::packfolder node in APEX? Aug. 24, 2024, 5:26 p.m.

The name param on the sop pack folder node in APEX says it requires and dictionary array. So I tried creating dictionaries with name and type for keys and then values for those and created a dictionary array out of them but it doesn't work.

Can someone tell me how this is supposed to work?
