Smooth Scalar only active when actively read

 

Hi,

I am facing a difficulty with the Smooth Scalar node, it is only active when I actively read it.

This video explains it:

It is a problem because I want to be able to run this function in the background.
(I am putting together a digital PTZ module, and it results in a really goofy looking zoom effect because of this)

How can I fix this in an elegant way? Thanks!


Edit:
I fixed it by changing the Initial value to 1, regardless I am still interested about finding out how to make it run as a background process.

Hi,

You could fix this by connecting the Smooth Scalar module to a Force Execution module.

You should read the Module Execution paragraph here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/scripting-in-aximmetry/flow-editor/module/#module-execution
It has a detailed explanation of why this is happening with your Smooth Scalar module.

Warmest regards,
