Making A Macro With More Than One Output

[johs]

Hello

I'm trying to create a simple macro with more than one output.
That seems to be impossible with the macro making interface, since it will only let me choose one node as the macro's output.

-So instead I thought if it is possible to make a macro (/button in the tool tabs) that can import a small .shk file into the current script.???

I'm only familiar with scripting on a very basic level, so any help on making a macro that can import stuff from a .shk file, or making a macro with more than one output, is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

I don't understand what you are trying to do. You can have as many output you want on every node, just get an other wire from your node...
be more specific if it something else,
cheers

Ah, yes I know I can pull as many strings out of a node output as I can imagine. But what I want is a node with 3 output blobs so I can pull 3 different outputs from the same node without having to add reorder nodes.

Something like this channel split node (witch I created in photoshop):

I hope that explains it better.
Then there will be 3 separate outputs from the same node, and I can easily do what ever I want to the individual channels.
I know this isn't the most complicated thing to do with a few reorder nodes, but I want to put a little more to it than just splitting R G and B, and I have to make this kind of setup quite a few times on an upcoming job so I would really like to get this little setup with as few button pushes as possible.

I haven't seen a single node with more than one output, so I guess it is impossible to make it directly as a macro.
But a group node can have more than one output blob, so I was thinking if it is possible to make a macro that imports a little .shk file that contains a group node with more than one output and expressions on the nodes inside the group node??

kind regards

did you upload this macro into the macros section? i want to take a look at your code, because i have been trying to figure out how to do this.

[johs]

No I'm trying to find a way to do it. I have no solution yet.

have you tried giving it multiple return commands in the bottom of the .h file? i want to try this out and see what happens
