for that string comparison around ~12:30 you can try `strcmp(@Sc_Name, opname("."))==0`

Also possible to use if(rint(atof(@Sc_Index)),0,1) to solve it.

Hi Chris, thanks for the amazing tutorials! One question, I need to generate a system that outputs 10k random characters, I was using switchs but maybe the spreadsheet method will be better. My question is, how can I set rules for example, if I have a brown character, don't use a brown background? and also, only output 100 characters with red hat? Thanks!

Hey! I'd probably go at it like this: First generate all possible combinations (even the bad ones) and then create rules to filter the bad ones out. For generating you could use csv like in the video, but stacking wedge tops is probably faster. For filtering the bad ones you use ... well, filter tops. So for example: To filter brown characters and brown backgrounds use a filter by expression and compare the color attribs. To get 100 red hat characters, use a split top to separate all red hat characters into a new stream, use a filter by range to only keep the first 100 and merge those back into your main stream.

Hi Chris, I'm working with a client and had a succesfull setup importing attributes via CSV, but I was using intergers on the excel to drive a switch, now the client is giving me words instead of intergers on the excel, do you know how can I drive a switch with values? For example, I have imported "Mouth" from the CSV, if "Mouth" return "Carrot", use switch 1, if "Mouth" return "Pipe", use switch 2, and so on (there are more than 2). Here are some images showing what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/tFS4KtS First one is the excel I used (that worked) Second one is a text to see if "Mouth" attrib returns "Carrot" Thirs one is the excel that the client is giving me, I need to output a character with all those settings (Black mask + Dirt background + Hazel eyes) and so on, but I can't figure out how to select each model without a 1, 2 3 switch. Thank you!
