ICE tip #5989 - hide stuff in compounds dynamically

[rray]

There's a PPG logic section in the compound properties for ICE compounds, just as there is for render tree compounds.

But it's quite limited compared to render tree compounds.

What works well hovever is dynamically Showing/Hiding parameters.

For example use this script to hide a profile curve you don't need so it won't take away valuable space in your compound's PPG.

Code: Select all

def Active_OnChanged():	
		PPG.ProfileCurve.Show(PPG.Active.Value)

==OFF==


==ON==

cool, thank!
Until now i really don't know how to hide fcurve when it's always show up

[Pooby]

Looks very useful, thanks. I have a few compounds where those Fcurves overpower everything

[danyargici]

Indeed, overpowering is the perfect description. Would have been good to know about over the years!

Glad it's of use! One thing to mention is there should probably be another copy of the line

PPG.ProfileCurve.Show(PPG.Active.Value)

in the on init callback as well. Not sure whether it's necessary.
