Fusion expression issue with 17.4

Having the same problem as you so i had to reinstall older version 17.3.2
Also had problems with FUSION,my expression on the text stopped working in text,the expression is: 30-math.floor(time/60)

The counter stopped count just showed a black window,but in version 17.3.2 everything is good for me.

So that was the main point why i reverted back because i need my counter in the project but could not get it to work in the new version 17.4

I hope they fix this
Cheers

Hi Rikard

Can you post a comp file that works correctly in 17.3.2 and fails in 17.4? (you can rename or zip it if the extension is not allowed in the forum)

Can I also check if you've tried this in Fusion Studio?

Thanks

Hello

I have the same issue, expressions no longer working in the StyledText

Pickwhip

Simplified Copy Names

Have stopped working

These work
Text(time/comp.RenderEnd)
Text(30-math.floor(time/60))

but these don't
time/comp.RenderEnd
30-math.floor(time/60)

Yeah I see the same, Text() is required - including in Fusion Studio.

To be fair I had always thought it was required that you surround a StyledText field in Text(..) - and that it was a bit odd that it (sometimes?) wasn't needed. I remember being surprised when I first found I didn't need Text() at all.

Perhaps they've removed an implicit conversion to Text, and it now must be explicit?

More problems with Text+. Trying the following in the Console:

Code: Select all

Text1.StyledText = Text("Yeah")

no longer works. The Text+ node displays nothing, and its Text box appears empty.

Likewise trying a Frame Render Script such as:

Code: Select all

self.StyledText = Text("Test")

no longer works.

However, doing this in the Console:

Code: Select all

Text1.StyledText = "Test"

works fine. But it does not work in a Frame Render Script!

I've not yet managed to get a Frame Render Script to be able to update a Text+ StyledText - where it works fine in Fusion Studio 16.2.4. (Haven't tried downgrading to test 17.3.2 yet, but assume the result was the same as in 16.2.4)

17.4.1 fixes the SimpleExpression issue, so for example you can use time as an expression again; you don't have to use Text(time). Enclosing the SimpleExpression in Text(..) still works as well.

The Frame Render Script problems remain. So far I have not found any way to set the StyledText value from a Text+'s Frame Render Script.

It works fine from the Console, it works fine from a Composition script. Just not a Text+ Frame Render Script for some reason.

17.4.2 has fixed the Frame Render problem.
