Selected by String criteria

[mattao]

Hi 

 

I just built this node to be able to "marionette" the "Crit" of Obj by Crit

 

You have to put the "criteria" text in the String Node. It will be passed to the new node and command his action.

By so you could act on the "criteria" string using marionette text and string nodes.

 

It seems to work.

 

Hope it will be useful.

 

I am pretty sure DomC has published something like that but cannot get my hand on it. Hi DomC. I am a fan of your work.
