Hi,
how to connect two node ports? I tried it like this:
GvPort* bornshape = born->AddConnection(born,born->GetOutPort(0),shape,shape->GetInPort(0)); if(!bornshape) return FALSE;
and it seems to work but they aren´t connected anyway :
Do I have to do anything with the returned GvPort?
Thanks
P.S.: When there is a port output of (the description) type TP_Particle, how can I store it in a variable? What datatype is that?

Did you every figure this out? I am having an identical issue. Know nothing of how this is all supposed to work and be configured and each progressive inch is a Battles of the Nodes.

In my case, there are three nodes - two Object nodes with slider ports and an intervening RangeMapper node.

Thanks,

I have confirmed that the naive approach of just doing

    
    
    GvNode* n1u = NULL;  
    GvNode* n2u = NULL;  
    GvPort* p1u = NULL;  
    GvPort* p2u = NULL;  
    if (m->IsConnectionValid(n1, p1, n2, p2, n1u, p1u, n2u, p2u))  
    {  
     n1->AddConnection(n1u, p1u, n2u, p2u);  
    }

doesn't seem to work for me either with two object nodes and manually added ports. I'm investigating if there's a proper way to add connections.

Hi!

Currently I have the same problem. I tried out to connect two ports, but they are not connected. What can I do?

Thanks for your help.

If source_port is the outport and dest_port is the inport, it does not work. If source_port is the outport, it works.

Bye.
