Although I use Fusion regularly, it has intentionally been at a simple level. I am now working on a sequence where I want something a bit more complex and with COVID time on my hands I thought I would use the Custom Tool to hold some common variables accessed by other nodes. This is working with one slight issue.
The last time I used Custom Tool I thought I used "n1" instead of "NumberIn1" and so on, but that no longer seems to be working. Has something changed or have I missed a setup step or something?
The Custom Tool is isolated and not connected to other nodes - they just reference the values. I tried connecting a background node to it just in case it needed something to initialise everything, but no change. Part of what I am doing is pre-calculating a movement delta. I can do it, but the expression is so long that it can't all fit in the window which increases the chances of mistakes greatly. What I was hoping to write was:
Point((p1x-p2x)/n2, (p1y-p2y)/n2)
What I ended up writing was:
Point((PointIn1.X-PointIn2.X)/NumberIn2, (PointIn1.Y-PointIn2.Y)/NumberIn2)
Anyone know how to utilise the original notation?
thanks,
Darryl
