Custom ICE Node help button

[Guillaume Laforge]

Hi guys,

As there is not "PutHelp" method available in the ICENodeDef class, we
can't use the little '?' icon on a custom ICE Node PPG right ?

Just to be sure I'm not missing anything.

Thanks,

Guillaume Laforge

That is correct. As a workaround, you can include the URL property of a compound. This enables right-click > Open Netview on URL.

I wanted to avoid using a compound for just one custom node, but as I
need a combo list too and that custom ICE nodes don't expose any
"advanced" PPG layout, it looks like it is the only way to go.

Thanks Grahame :)

i requested this. maybe back me up? ;)

also look at the latest animation states node in the updates to crowdfx... the combo box seems to update dynamically and 'seems' to be a custom c++ node.

Personally I request it in my head many times some years ago :). I'm too lazy to request it with a keyboard :P.

Would be interesting to know more about this new CrowdFX node for sure (if it is really a custom one).
