Get Parameter from a tool (.vst)

[Gelde-Aart]

HI,

 

I try to get the a parameter value from a tool (.vst), but the Vectorscript way (vs.PParameter ) does not seem to work: has anybody success in retrieving a parameter value and how did you do it?

 

Thanks in advance!

I think that menu and tool parameters haven’t worked for some time. Instead, use Get/SetSetting, a hidden record (GetObject(RecordName) gives you a handle to the record definition), or the string repository (RepStr commands)

After some further testing it seems that the issue is not Python (even got back to Vectorscript for this...) , but the tool being event driven (forgot to mention...). when the tool is  'normal' (for both Python and Vectorscript) a parameter will be read. Converting the tool  to an event driven one raises errors...
