I’ve been experiencing strange behavior when exporting CHOP channels to Pulse parameters on various OPs where the exports will not consistently trigger the Pulse. I noticed this a week or so ago, but I didn’t want to submit a bug report until I could figure out how to consistently recreate the scenario.
For example:
I add a momentary Button COMP and subsequent Null CHOP to the network and export the resultant channel to a Pulse parameter, in this case the Start on a Timer CHOP. The channel looks to have been exported successfully, but when I click the button, nothing happens with the Timer CHOP. If I create a second Timer CHOP and export to its Start parameter, it will work.
If I save this project and reopen it, both exports seem to work. It’s a minor bug, but it has made exporting CHOPs to pulse parameters difficult.
The above experiment seems to work the same every time I try it.
It seems it doesn’t work only when first connected. If you save and reload the file, delete the export and reconnect, or delete the Timer CHOP and ctrl+Z, then everything works fine. Let me know if you are experiencing otherwise and upload your setup. We will work on the initialization case.
I am having this problem with 2018.25000. I have tried exporting chops to the pushbutton parameters for DATs (Table, FileOut, FileIn) and I get no response. Even files that worked on earlier versions of TD have this problem. I am rolling back to the previous release. The above workarounds don’t work.
Thanks kdsalter, I was able to see the problem using a File Out DAT. We are looking into it. Out of curiosity, which build can you go back to where it works?
The issue with the File Out DAT will be fixed in an upcoming build.
However the File In DAT ‘refreshpulse’ button worked well.
Were there other examples still failing?
