stumped on this one. if I have an expression that is calling up a value from the next node in the tree, like this:
Code:
set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 6.1 v1
push 0
push $cut_paste_input
Crop {
box {{min(SeamLeft1.point1.L.x,SeamLeft1.point2.L.x,SeamLeft1.point3.L.x,SeamLeft1.point4.L.x,SeamLeft1.point5.L.x)-(Crop1_bbox_Lseam.bounds.L)} {min(SeamLeft1.point1.L.y,SeamLeft1.point2.L.y,SeamLeft1.point3.L.y,SeamLeft1.point4.L.y,SeamLeft1.point5.L.y)-(Crop1_bbox_Lseam.bounds.L)} {max(SeamLeft1.point1.L.x,SeamLeft1.point2.L.x,SeamLeft1.point3.L.x,SeamLeft1.point4.L.x,SeamLeft1.point5.L.x)+(Crop1_bbox_Lseam.bounds.L)} {max(SeamLeft1.point1.L.y,SeamLeft1.point2.L.y,SeamLeft1.point3.L.y,SeamLeft1.point4.L.y,SeamLeft1.point5.L.y)+(Crop1_bbox_Lseam.bounds.L)}}
name Crop1_bbox_Lseam
selected true
xpos 1347
ypos 490
addUserKnob {20 User}
addUserKnob {3 bounds l buffer t "this sets the amount of image you see outside of the seam points. Smaller will render faster but larger is easier to visualize."}
bounds 50
}

}
how would I bulletproof that expression so I’m not calling an absolute name but instead just a variable that points to the next node in the tree?
ya know, I’ve used "parent" before to get at the previous node, but what’s the syntax for the NEXT node?
basically I’m wanting to turn something like this:
min(SeamLeft1.point1.L.x,SeamLeft1.point2.L.x,Seam Left1.point3.L.x,SeamLeft1.point4.L.x,SeamLeft1.po int5.L.x)-(Crop1_bbox_Lseam.bounds.L)
into min(NEXTNODE.point1.L.x, … etc
because in this template I’m making, that expression will always need to point to the next node in the chain, but it just won’t always be named the same thing when it’s brought into an existing script (or if it’s brought in 2 times, etc)
big thanks for any pointers.
