Hi all,
I have 2 sources connected to a combiner. I would like my combiner to set its item type to the same type of items from source 2.
For this, I set a trigger at entrance: set item type and color with a value getitemtype(current.inObjects[2]) but it doesn't work.
The final goal is to have each object set up a color similar to its input or one of its inputs. So even after combining items together, I can still follow from which type they belong to.
Thanks in advance,
Thibaut
current.inObjects[2]
it isn't a reference to an item
From the Command Reference:
getitemtype(obj object) Deprecated, use labels
Description This command is deprecated. Use labels instead.
Item type has been deprecated for a couple version now. So unless you started building this model in 17.1 or earlier, getitemtype() won't return anything. Now all the pickoptions that reference Item Type are just adding a Type label to the item. To get its value you would just use item.Type.
Perhaps you can set the color in another trigger. That would be easier, because all items are already in the combiner. Then you can copy the color of the container to all other items.
The container item is containing the packed items.
for (int cnt = 1; cnt <= item.subnodes.length; cnt++ )
item.subnodes[cnt].as(Object).color = item.color;
