Report Error VOP node

Optionally report a custom VEX error or warning.

On this page

This operator is used to optionally report a formatted text string as a VEX error or warning. It uses the exact same format as the Print.

Any number of inputs can be connected to this operator. These inputs can be integer, float, vector, vector4, matrix3, matrix, or string data. By default, each input value will be printed with the name of the output connected to the input, followed by the actual value. the values are separated by tabs. So connecting a vector input P and a float input alpha would result in string that looked like this:

P: { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }     alpha: 1.0

Note

In a multi-context material network, the Report Error node needs to somehow be connected to a context output to work. The minimal way to do this is to connect a Null VOP into the context output node, and then connect the Report Error node’s output to the Null node’s second input.

Parameters

Format String

This string specifies how the input values will be formatted and reported. Any text can be entered here. To specify that the value from a particular input should be displayed, use "%". The inputs will be displayed in the order in which they are connected. To display a % character, use \\%. To display a "\", use \\\\. To specify the start of a new line, use \\n. A new line character is automatically put at the end of the string when it is output to the console. To place a TAB in the text, use \\t. Any input value that does not explicitly appear in the Format String is appended to the end of the string using the format described above for the default behavior.

Inputs

Report As

This integer indicates whether the message should (0) not be reported at all, (1) be reported as a warning, or (2) be reported as an error.

Input Value 1…N

The input values to be put in the output string.

Next Input

Where the next input value should be connected. Up to 64 inputs can be specified.

Outputs

Formatted Output Text

The string created by formatting the input values according to the details in the Format String, even if Report As is 0 (Nothing).
