Because this problem is very urgent , I have to post a new thread to look for more help.
I set up a controller and give it to a parameter “myNumber”. The problem is when I move the time slider, the spinner changes its value . While the spinner’s value is changing through time to time, nothing happened to it’s event handle.
thanks everyone’s help!
plugin simpleObject TestObject
name:"TestObject"
classid:#(0x68175071, 0x60425371)
category:"Tests"
(
local params --pre-declare the rollout to make it visible to the paramblock
parameters main rollout: params
(
myNumber type:#integer animatable:true ui:spnNum default:0 --change to boolean
on myNumber set val do (
format "mynumber:%
" val
params.edtName.text = "myNumber is " + ( val as string)
)
)
rollout params "Change text"
(
button btnTest "setAnimation"
edittext edtName text:"None"
spinner spnNum "myNumber" range:[-1000,1000,0]
fn setAnimation =
(
local tmpCntrl = linear_float()
addnewkey tmpCntrl 10
addnewkey tmpCntrl 80
tmpCntrl.keys[1].value = 100
tmpCntrl.keys[2].value = 800
myNumber.controller = tmpCntrl
)
on btnTest pressed do setAnimation()
)

)
)
)
)
You can start 10 threads, but the “problem” remains the same – the animation controller is not considered a SET event.
If you need something to happen on every update of the plugin including time changes, you can do it inside the buildMesh() handler which WILL be called each time a parameter updates now that you have an animated track in the paramBlock.
on buildMesh do
(
format "mynumber:%
" myNumber
)
The ‘on someParam set value do()’ handler is only called when something SETS the value of the parameter, but an already keyframed controller is not such an event. See my answer in the original thread.
