SOLVED XPRESSO Python Node "Could not find port value for..." Error

noseman

Python Hierarchy Node 11A.c4d As I'm trying to understand how to use a Python Node in XPRESSO, I did this very simple setup. All I want is for the "OutputObject" to be the same as the "Input1" but I keep getting an error: "NameError: Could not find port value for 'OutputObject' in node 'Python iterate Hierarchy'."

Can someone explain this please?
Cheers

hi @noseman ,

looks like you have twice def main() in your code.
Global variable are only necessary for the output's ports.

Your code

import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Python


def main():
    global Input1
    global OutputObject
    def main():
        OutputObject = Input

should be

import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Python


def main():
    global OutputObject
    OutputObject = Input1

Cheers,
Manuel

Oh man... thank you so much. Even when I read your reply, I couldn't "see" it in the Node... was staring at it for to long.
thanks.
