Different behavior of float and matrix data type

[Anonymous]

hello!

I've got a load of nodes with some custom attributes of type Boolean.

If i do

float $temop = `getAttr "object.boolattribute"`;

It comes out as 1, but if I'm using a matrix and I do

$myMatrix[0][0] = `getAttr "object.boolattribute"`;

It returns 0.

I don't understand but hopefully one of you does!

Thanks

Actually it doesn't return 0, but it seems the cast will make bad stuff. Here is a solution, you explicitly have to cast it to a float or you write it before in another variable.

int $v = `getAttr pSphere1.visibility`;

matrix $m[3][3];
$m[0][0] = `getAttr pSphere1.visibility`;         // Wrong value
$m[0][1] = (float)`getAttr pSphere1.visibility`;  // Correct value
$m[0][2] = $v;                                    // Correct value 

print $v;
print "\n";
print $m;
print "\n";
