COMP Other Common Page
Parameters - Common Page
The Common parameter page sets the component's node viewer and clone relationships.
Parent Shortcut parentshortcut
- Specifies a name you can use anywhere inside the component as the path to that component. See Parent Shortcut.
Global OP Shortcut opshortcut
- Specifies a name you can use anywhere at all as the path to that component. See Global OP Shortcut.
Shortcut iop0shortcut
- Specifies a name you can use anywhere inside the component as a path to "Internal OP" below. See Internal Operators.
OP iop0op
- The path to the Internal OP inside this component. See Internal Operators.
Operator Viewer opviewer
- Select which operator's node viewer to use when the Node View parameter above is set to Operator Viewer.
Enable Cloning enablecloning
- Control if the OP should be actively cloneing. Turning this off causes this node to stop cloning it's 'Clone Master'.
Enable Cloning Pulse enablecloningpulse
- Instantaneously clone the contents.
Clone Master clone
- Path to a component used as the Master Clone.
Load on Demand loadondemand
- Loads the component into memory only when required. Good to use for components that are not always used in the project.
Enable External .tox enableexternaltox
- When on (default), the external .tox file will be loaded when the .toe starts and the contents of the COMP will match that of the external .tox. This can be turned off to avoid loading from the referenced external .tox on startup if desired (the contents of the COMP are instead loaded from the .toe file). Useful if you wish to have a COMP reference an external .tox but not always load from it unless you specifically push the Re-Init Network parameter button.
Enable External .tox Pulse enableexternaltoxpulse
- This button will re-load from the external .tox
file (if present).
External .tox Path externaltox
- Path to a .tox
file on disk which will source the component's contents upon start of a .toe
. This allows for components to contain networks that can be updated independently. If the .tox
file can not be found, whatever the .toe
file was saved with will be loaded.
Reload Custom Parameters reloadcustom
- When this checkbox is enabled, the values of the component's Custom Parameters are reloaded when the .tox is reloaded. This only affects top-level parameters on the component, all parameters on nodes inside the component are always reloaded with the .tox.
Reload Built-In Parameters reloadbuiltin
- When this checkbox is enabled, the values of the component's built-in parameters are reloaded when the .tox is reloaded. This only affects top-level parameters on the component, all parameters on nodes inside the component are always reloaded with the .tox.
Save Backup of External savebackup
- When this checkbox is enabled, a backup copy of the component specified by the External .tox
parameter is saved in the .toe
file. This backup copy will be used if the External .tox
can not be found. This may happen if the .tox
was renamed, deleted, or the .toe
file is running on another computer that is missing component media.
Sub-Component to Load subcompname
- When loading from an External .tox
file, this option allows you to reach into the .tox
and pull out a COMP and make that the top-level COMP, ignoring everything else in the file (except for the contents of that COMP). For example if a .tox
file named project1.tox
contains project1/geo1
, putting geo1
as the Sub-Component to Load, will result in geo1
being loaded in place of the current COMP. If this parameter is blank, it just loads the .tox
file normally using the top level COMP in the file.
