I'm trying to set the value of a Point() control via the console.

This code doesn't work though?

Code: Select all

Merge2.a.X = 0.1
Merge2.a.Y = 0.1

For whatever reason, this resets the value(s) back to default, but not to the specified values?

Code: Select all

Merge2.a = Point(0.1, 0.1)

EDIT - SOLVED
I figured out after a bunch of trial and error that you need to use curly brackets instead of square brackets.
This LUA code works:

Code: Select all

Merge2.a = {0.1, 0.1}

You can use the dump() function show the full table of values.

Code: Select all

-- Returns the X,Y,Z values of 'a' on frame 0
dump(Merge2.a[0])

If you'd like to return a specific value you just need specify the table index

Code: Select all

-- Returns X value of table 'a' on frame 0
print(Merge2.a[0][1])

-- You can also use the ".GetInput() method"
print(Merge2:GetInput("a", 0)[1])

Hope this helps anybody that stumbles across this post. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this.
