anyway recently i find how to get the min and max and here is how:ġ – loop over all point to get the max and min but this some time is really heavy in calculation. So, it's looking at point 0, and getting the value of 'arr. So 10 times youre currently setting a new variable aray called 'arr', and you're adding to that array point 0's point attribute that (supposedly) already exists, of 'arr'. Now when the agents enter inside the first plane they'll start to run because the state metadata is changed to 2, then when they enters in the second plane they slow down but only inside the plane.I used to be think like just use the max and min function and you will be ready to go, however i find it more difficult to get the max and max and min of attribute or maybe it’s just the stupid me. In the second code: In detail mode (so it only does it once, instead of once per point), you're looping 10 times.

Add another area trigger module and create and attach a new plane.Set the keepValue on so the agents will keep the new state value.Set the intValue attribute in the area trigger module to 2 in this way the agents will change the state to 2.Set the metadata attribute in the area trigger module to state.Create a grid, scale it and put it in front of the agents.To manually specify the VEX datatype for an attribute, you must add a character. Add a grid layout module and set the size to (5,1,5) Data type conversion operations specified for use in Houdini Vex.With this module you can change a metadata value when the agents enter inside a mesh area

If you put the mesh avoidance module before the follow curve you will have a wrong behaviour because the follow curve will override the directions from the mesh avoidance module In this case the mesh avoidance should be at the bottom because it should override the direction that comes from the follow curve module. Please remember that the module are evaluated from top to down. The agent will follow the curve you created avoiding the geos However, in VEX it seems that you can only get the first entry from the attribute, so Im not sure that you can do this in a wrangler. The basic set-up is pretty simple: Put down some Geo > Scatter arbitrary number of points on Geo > Feed those points into POPNet > Feed particles from POPNet into a Trail SOP > Use Add SOP to create lines from particle trails by grouping by attribute (id).


If you are going to create multiple geos, please remember to combine all together. There are detail intrinsic attributes: pointattributes, vertexattributes, primitiveattributes and detailattributes. I want to create an arbitrary number of groups based on an attribute using VEX. Create a cube or some geo in your scene.This article sheds some light at the ways of using orient attribute and matrices in VOP networks to manipulate instances. You can use the return value with setprimattrib to set attributes on the new point, however it may not be the final number of the point. Assign the curve to the curve parameter. Advanced orienting of instances or particles is a bit obscure thing in Houdini despite it being one of the common operations you typically want to do.Set the "state" attribute of the stateMachine module to 1 With this module you can avoid the intersection between agents and geometries in your scene
