Moho Forum

With a switch group, I can:

local layerName = moho.layer:Name()

then SetSelLayer to the parent and

moho.layer:SetValue((moho.frame), (layerName))

but have no idea how to manually specify layerName. It seems like it’d be as easy as

local layerName = “spam”, but I’m not getting results. Do I need a full path? Quotes?

If I had a switch group with layers named a, b, and c, how do I say layerName = c?

are you trying to make c the active child with the parent selected??

You'll need to turn the generic layer into a switch type object:

then do the set value

I think this should make c the active child with the parent selected

local switchLayer = moho:LayerAsSwitch(moho.layer)
switchLayer:SetValue (moho.frame, "c")

THANK YOU!!!

I was going bonkers! I've seen the word switchLayer so many times in the last 12 hours trying to figure it out, it lost all meaning and just started sounding like the name of some random metal band.

Turns out I had it right at one point during this effort, but was getting errors since I didn't have it indented and I abandoned the idea and moved on to alternative methods, but having it put in front of me like that made me reinvestigate.

God dang, I'm glad that's over.

Nice one Coatsie, that would be a good name for a band, or a film/graphic novel.
