I need an operator to have a different load time depending on the item it is loading.
I did a "values by case" in the operator load time drop box but it doesn't seem to work.
So to confirm I'm trying to read the value of the "load time" variable but I can't figure out how.
I tried, getvarnum, getnodenum, operator1.attrs.variables.value."load time", etc. and nothing works.
If this is something I should be able to find in the manual let me know where because I searched and searched...
The variable name is "loadtime", but it is a code node as you can see in the tree:
Calling getvarnum on a node with code (string) data won't return anything.
Using the Values By Case pickoption is the correct way to do what you want. The code in that field will be evaluated whenever the operator loads an item. Post a model if you still can't get it working.
I've confirmed some other way that it works (values by case).
But do you mean that there is no way to read the value of the loadtime if I really needed to?
And is it the same for every variable that is a "code node"?
There is no way to lookup or access the value of a flexscript code node. The reason why is that is just that, code. Which could evaluate to anything during the running of a model. It is a returned value but not saved value. If you wanted to go into the code and save the calculation to a label on the object, you could then reference that label for the latest "code" value. But that code value is otherwise not saved, it is calculated on the spot. And yes, that is the same for any "code" node.
