Retrigger the loop

by Brandon Clifford

Oct 4, 2011

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get the loop to auto-restart.  Here is the scenario... A calculation is run, and the boolean reaches its trigger and changes from true to false.  The result is shown.  Then if i alter an input (like for instance the target result), the boolean toggles back to true; however, the loop does not re-start.  Can someone please explain this to me?  Is there a way to get this to work?  Thanks so much

    Hello Brandon,

     

    Hoopsnake's boolean input does not acts an activator. In fact, it is impossible using hoop snake to trigger a solution just by changing an input. This can be performed only in the context of an already active Hoopsnake loop to allow for linking of multiple components (in versions 0.6.x onwards). In other words, you will have to use either the loop or the step buttons to start a new loop.

    Allowing such functionality is of course food for thought for a future release but still we are not there yet.
