Contents 1 Fusion : SetData 1.1 Description 1.2 Usage 1.3 Arguments 1.4 Returns 1.5 Example 1.6 See Also 1.7 Tips for SetData (edit)

Description

Allows the script to assign persistent custom data to objects in Fusion. Persistent data can be attached to individual Tools, the Composition, or even Fusion itself. Use the GetData function to retrieve the values assigned by SetData.

Usage

value = Fusion:SetData(string index, value)

Arguments

• name (required, string)

A string value used as the index, or name, of the custom data.

• value (required, any)

The custom data to be assigned to the index specified in the first argument.

Returns

No return value.

Example

The following example is a simplified version of the Comp Script 'Switch Motion Blur.eyeonscript' which is shipped with Fusion 5 and later. It will toggle the current state of the motion blur checkbox on all selected tools. In this case the GetData and SetData functions are used to attach custom data to each tool which has had its motion blur turned off by the script.

-- get the users input
local ret = composition:AskUser("Toggle Motion Blur", {
			{"disable", Name = "Disable Motion Blur", "Checkbox", Default = 0, NumAcross = 2},
			})
 
-- did they cancel?
if ret == nil then
	return
else 
	tools = composition:GetToolList(true)
end
 
 
if ret.disable == 1 then
	for i,tool in tools do
		if tool.MotionBlur > 0.0 then
			
			if tool.MotionBlur:GetConnectedOutput() == nil then
				tool:SetData("Motion Blur Was On", true)
				tool.MotionBlur = 0
			end
		end
		composition:SetData("Motion Blur Enabled", 0)
		
	end
	
else
	for i,tool in tools do
		if tool:GetData("Motion Blur Was On") then
			tool:SetData("Motion Blur Was On", nil)
			tool.MotionBlur = 1
		end
	end
end
