You asked for it (and some of you also already answered it): How do you save your custom functions into an external file, so you can build your own library of functions?

This Quicktip goes over saving out your functions into an external header file.

A general question on the subject: Integrated attributes in a function are not possible?

Hi Christoph, Passing an attribute as an argument to your custom function should work. However using the @-shorthand in your custom function's code should not, as Houdini doesn't know in which context you're gonna run your functions (points, vertices, prims, details) and as there is no general shorthand for context independent attribute access you'll have to rely on the explicit form using point() prim() or detail() to access your attributes within a custom function. Cheers, Mo

How can I retrieve a function I wrote in one wrangler from another wrangler?

Save it to a .h (header) file, make sure your houdini.env file points to the path of that file, then #include it. Just like we did in that video :) Cheers, Mo

I can't find the Houdini.env file on my Mac, what should I do?
