Did you know? (5)

August 29, 2008 |

When you are scanning the ChannelGraph for a specific channeltype there is a handy shortcut to toggle between showing channel names (CTRL+End) and channel types (CTRL+Home). This is extremely useful if for instance you want to see if a value type channel is actually a value or an envelope.

Was this useful for you? (DYK5)

    Usefull keyboard shortcut.
    What I do, however, is to add a small abbreviation at the start of the channel name that indicated the channeltype… this way you can see and items name and type at the same time.
    These are the codes I use:

    obj - DX8 3D object
    coll obj - Collision object
    va - Value
    sva - Set value
    env - Envelope
    eva - Expression value
    vaop - Value operator
    nva - Network value
    ve - Vector
    ma - Matrix
    nma - Network matrix
    ntxt - Network text
    txt - Text
    tex - Texture
    surf - Surface
    cc - Channel caller
    cogc - Call on getchild
    cs aa bb - Channelswitch, where aa is the abbreviation of the channelswitch type (like ma, or obj), and bb is a name
    pe - Particle emmiter
    ot - OneTime
    tr - Trigger
    tr-vc - Trigger (on value change)
    fsm - FiniteStateMachine
    ui ‘A’ - DX8 UserInput, where A is the defined key

    etc.
