Data_Operator - superclass: helper; super-superclass:node - 33:1 - classID: #(1935830017, 515064320)
| Value > MAXWrapper > Node > Helper > Data_Operator |
NEW in 3ds Max 2014: The Data_Operator operator directly modifies particle channel data by using sub-operators wired in
a Particle Data View.
<Data_Operator>.Auto_Update BooleanClass default: false -- boolean
Get/set the state of the Auto Update checkbox.
Operator Activity group of controls
<Data_Operator>.Activity_Type Integer default: 0 -- radiobtnIndex
Get/set the state of the "Operator Activity" radio buttons.
<Data_Operator>.Time_On Integer default: 0 -- integer
Get/set the value of the "Time On" spinner available when .Activity_Type is set to 1.
<Data_Operator>.Time_Off Integer default: 4800 -- integer
Get/set the value of the "Time Off" spinner available when .Activity_Type is set to 1.
<Data_Operator>.Animatable_Active BooleanClass default: true -- animatable; boolean
Get/set the state of the Active checkbutton available when .Activity_Type is set to 1.
Operator Icon group of controls
<Data_Operator>.Visible_Icon BooleanClass default: false -- boolean
Get/set the viewport icons's visibility.
This property is not exposed to the User Interface.
The Data Operator's Icon is set to False by default. Setting it to True will create a Data_Icon object in the viewport, but the icon controls will not be shown in the Particle View, only in the 3ds Max Command Panel.
<Data_Operator>.Icon_Type Integer default: 10 -- animatable; integer
Get/set the icon type used when .Visible_Icon is set to True.
<Data_Operator>.Icon_Parameter_1 Float default: 10.0 -- animatable; worldUnits
<Data_Operator>.Icon_Parameter_2 Float default: 10.0 -- animatable; worldUnits
<Data_Operator>.Icon_Parameter_3 Float default: 20.0 -- animatable; worldUnits
Get/set the first, second and third icon parameters. Depending on the .Icon_Type value, these parameters can have different meanings.
See the table below for details:
| Icon_Type Value | Icon Type NameH | Icon_Parameter_1 | Icon_Parameter_2 | Icon_Parameter_3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Arrow | Diameter | -- | Height |
| 1 | Box | Width | Length | Height |
| 2 | Circle | Diameter | -- | -- |
| 3 | Cone | Diameter | -- | Height |
| 4 | Cylinder | Diameter | -- | Height |
| 5 | Half Cylinder | Diameter | -- | Height |
