Arithmetic parse error
« on: November 13, 2019, 05:56:08 PM »
Hi guys, just following your video tutorial for building parametric windows, and I can't get the arithmetic node expression to work at all. I get the following error:

Parse error. Expected ')' or ',' in argument list at line 1:
if(YSplinePosition=0,3,

I've also tried copying and pasting from the text version of the tutorial with the same issue.

Hi
You are missing one parameter and you have to use `==`
Also you have to start with word Return folowing expression ...
Return
if(YSplinePosition==0,3,_);

Hm,

Managed to get rid of the parse error now by adding a parameter that is missing; but it still doesn't work. I'm following this directly from the railclone tutorial here https://www.itoosoft.com/tutorials/parameterise-windows?back=page%3D5%26tag%3Drailclone

Hi Macker

Tutorial was created for RailClone v2. Expressions were greatly improved in RailClone v3.

The same expression in v3 is written like this:

Code: [Select]
return if(YSplinePosition==0,3,
if(YSplinePosition==1,1,
2));
