Using ComboControl or MultiButtonControl to alter a formular

Hi
I'm relatively new to Fusion, and know very little about coding, but always keen to pick up knowledge along the way.
I'm building my own little macro to apply the applicable aspect ratio mask to delivery footage, so I wanted to use the control button or multi button control in a custom tool node to change the formular driving the mask. I have 5 buttons which send the values of 0-4 to the formular. I want to change those default values to specific values, like 1.78, 2.39 etc. I cant seem to figure out how to do it :/
Does anyone know an easy way to do this?
Thanks for your help

Can you post the in progress macro here? This way we can take a look at the internals to help you better.

There are a couple of ways you could go about it. Here's an example from my custom keyer macro where a ComboControl chooses which image goes to the output:
- Code: Select all

Tools = ordered() {

[0] = "DFTDissolve"

Also, any idea how I can add dividers into the macro between the settings so its clear what the settings are for?

For some more info on how to set-up extra buttons etc for your macros check out this link.
https://www.steakunderwater.com/VFXPedi ... r_ControlsIt has some very useful stuff on creating labels and nests etc. This will definitely help you understand things better.

Thanks Sander, there is some helpful info there.
Looks like I will have to get creative with getting a button to return a specific value.
Thanks for your help.
