Convert data types

Hi,

I’m trying to map some input data I get from Joysticks like buttons or analog sticks that have a range to some of my Operators that accept data types like color (RGBA).

I can do some of them but they require a lot of nodes as I’m fairly new to TD and not familiar with them as good as it can be.

So I’m after solutions that let me convert these datas with less nodes or as I’m a programmer, probably writing Python code can solve these quicker and can’t find out how to do that.

Thanks

Maybe you could post your file or a screenshot. I am not entirely sure what you want.

You want to have an input CHOP with the values from your controller and map them to different values, is that right?

What I found myself doing when dealing with many values, is using an Execute-CHOP to take the values from a Null-(or whatever)CHOP, writing the processed values into a Table-DAT and reading those values from a Constant-CHOP. I am not sure, if this is common practice, but it works for me.
