The stype property

  • SopaXorzTaker     27th Jul 2016 Member 0 Permalink

    The stype property would work much like the ctype one, but will specify the source type the element is operating on, e.g CONV (GLOW) [WATR] would convert only WATR to GLOW.

    It is possible to use tmp, tmp2, life, pavg0 or pavg1 for extra properties since element ids are storable integers. So for your example, it would be something like "CONV (GLOW), Temp: 22.00 C, Life: 0 Tmp: 2..."

    How would you set this property easily? Ctype can be drawn on, so PROP isn't even needed except for maybe a few advanced elements like PSTN.

    What elements besides CONV need this? It could be CONV-specific

     Maybe middle click?

    That's already used for sample / a third mouse button.

     Aww, forgot :P

     

    Maybe a STPE tool? It would use the last used element as the type.

    My other question though, does any element besides CONV need this. We don't need to add a whole new property when CONV has some free.

    jacob2, maybe FILT to match and replace stype to ctype in BRAY/PHOT. Example: BRAY(12345) + FILT(1337)[12345] = BRAY(1337). Also, it could be used to make STKM immune to a specific element, etc.
