Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to get a missing UserData slider on a tag to be detected as missing.
If it is missing I would like to make the script to bypass it instead of the Console reporting: "parameter access failed".

This is all using a COFFEE expression plugin Tag.
The tag have 25 UserData faders.

Opening an olders version, with only 24 UserData faders I do get the "parameter access failed" message.

So basically for backwards compability reasons I'd like to make this possible.
The problem I have is to find the correct version of:

if (MyTag->GetUserDataObject() != TRUE)
do this;
else
do that;

Cheers
Lennart

I don't think there's a way to know what parameters are avaiable. But you can use a try-catch block to catch the error:

    
    
    main(doc,op)  
    {  
      println("Before");  
      try  
      {  
        println(op#ID_USERDATA:3);  
      }  
      catch(ExLastException)  
      {  
        println("Error");  
      }  
      println("After");  
    }
