Reasons to detach values by using #

[Karsten Wenzke 12]

Hey all,

 

We prepared a small demo to show the impact of the detach function '#'

1. Avoid infinite recursion parameter i(0) i.setValue(#i.getValue()+1) Without the #, the parameter i would be changed referencing itself. Every increase of i would automatically trigger another update, resulting in an infinite loop. Therefore using only the parameters value at that specific time avoids this recursion.
   
2. Keep value at specific moment parameter i(0) parameter j(#i) i.setValue(1) With the # the parameter j will be 0, disregarding all further changes made to i. Without the detachment, in this example j would be changed to 1 along with i.
   

Thanks Sebastian for this small demo and illustration

 

Best regards

Hi,

 

in this little loop example, I also detach the points ...

 

Cheers
