User Actor settings question Can't Post
Hi

When I use a User Output actor attached to something numerical like a Integer Counter, and change some parameter of the Counter, the Output remains set to the original Min Max numbers and no longer functions as needed... hard to describe, please see attached patch. When I use a Table to change the Max on the Counter, it screws up the User Output. Why doesn't this actor just output the number it is fed?

Thanks, John

Well, to answer my own question...

It seems one must place the user output actor first; dbl click to set data type; choose "integer" (or whatever, just not "match property") and make sure it is set to MIN and MAX ---before--- hooking it up the a source of numbers.

Just in case anyone else was confused.

John

Yes, if you choose Match Property, the input or output will "adapt" to match the thing you connect it to, including it's 'scale min' and 'scale max' settings. This may not produce the desired behavior depending on what you want to do. If you want complete control, do what John suggests and explicitly set the input or output as desired.

Also, it's always good to review to section of the manual regarding how values are scaled. I think the system I have in place is useful, but it is important to understand the automatic scaling of values if you want to take full advantage of the program.

Best Wishes,
Mark
