hi,
Yes, I don't think that runtime interpretation of complex equations would be ideal...
the best solution here is to either make a dedicated action, or talk with that script somehow.
pm me if you need help integrating your equation into a custom action.
Since june, I took a different approach on complex problem solving in playmaker, especially when bridging existing powerfull frameworks. I now provide a custom wizard to the developer that let him define the needs, and I generate custom actions. the net result is the ability to offer a very rich interface to the developer, resulting in dedicated, to the point custom actions. All of this, without any scripting required for the developer.
I think the key to this would be to simply allow editor time evaluation of an equation, and propose a wizard that creates a custom action for a given equation, exposing the dynamic values properly, AND having the equation burnt into the custom action.
Are you following what I getting at? basically, the user would define the equation during editing, and publish that equation as a custom action. Best of both world really!
bugger... yet another funcky little project...
bye,
Jean
