[Closed] Event Part count

When “PF Source 01->Ev” is the full name of the Event node, that is exactly what you’ll need to use for getNodeByName to work, eg:

Ev = getNodeByName "PF Source 01->Ev"
Ev.numParticles()

Or am I missing something? Not sure what you are trying to do

Cheers,

it will not work like this…

I m using 2 dropdownlists. One for the PFS and the second one with the Event (depending the first ddl selection

	on ddlPFS selected PF do
 	(
 		(
 		myEvents = for p in (getPropNames (getNodeByName ddlPFS.items[PF])) 
 		where 
 			((classOf (propValue = getProperty (getNodeByName ddlPFS.items[PF]) p)) == Event) 
 		collect 
 			( (refs.dependentNodes propValue immediateOnly:true)[1] )
 	
 		ddlEvent.items = (for i in myEvents collect i.name)
 		)

and i would like to know the max particles in my event using the .numparticles()

just concatenate the two, then?

e.g. if you have…
a = “PF Source 01”
b = “Ev”

then

getNodeByName (a + “->” + b)

?

if think u’re right

i tried this getnodebyname (a+b) and fergot the “->”

i ll try it now

thanks

it’s working fine thx dude

btw i was wondering how i could get the highest value of my particle amount.
Because the .numparticles return the amount of the particles at the frame being.

get the ‘amount’ value / calculate from the rate+start/stop of the Birth event?

e.g.
(getNodeByName “Birth 01”).amount

no

e.g.

I’ve an age test sending from frame 15 to 25 my particle to the event “Ev” and i would like to get the maximum amount of particles going into it.

but if i m running my script at frame 0 i ll get back 0 particles.
