$(INDEX): Returns the indexes of sub-containers of the selected container.
$(REFRESH) $(DataField_Name): Triggers all plug-ins registered to DataField_Name as if the DataField DataField_Name was changed.
$(SCENE), $(THIS_SCENE): Returns the name of the current scene.
$(CONTAINER): Returns the container ID of the container that the DataPool plug-in is attached to.
$(CONTNAME): Returns the name of the container hosting the DataPool plug-in.
$(CHILD): Returns the index of the selected child.
$(DATA): Returns the string value of a text object.
$(PARENT): Represents the parent DataPool object/structure of the current DataPool field. This variable enables the user to change the values of its "brother" data fields. This special variable is applicable only in plug-ins that have an Action parameter.
Example: In the given structure
DEMO={
string Field1
string Field2
};
If a DataPool plug-in, with an Action parameter, on the Field1 container refers to $(PARENT)/Field2, it sets the value of Field2 in the same structure:
$(PARENT)/Field2="This is the Field1" $(Field1)
The result of this action is that Field2 contains the quoted text and the content of Field1 data field.
IMPORTANT! When working with DataPool structures/objects, the $(PARENT) is the recommended way of addressing other data fields in the DataPool structure/object.
Note: Using the $(PARENT) variable is similar to using the Global/Local parameter in some of the DataPool plug-ins. Both make the distinction between a DataPool variable that is part of a data structure/object and a DataPool variable that is used not a part of a structure/object.
Note: The Field Name parameter (the DataPool variable that triggers the action should be a part of the structure. The $(PARENT) value is defined according to this data field.
$(PARENT_NAME): This special variable is applicable only in plug-ins that have an Action parameter. The $(PARENT_NAME) returns the parent DataPool object/structure name, of the current DataPool field.
Note: The Field Name parameter (the DataPool variable that triggers the action should be a part of the structure. The $(PARENT_NAME) value is defined according to this data field.
See $(PARENT) description for additional details.
$(PARENT_FULL_NAME): Returns the full hierarchy string of the parent DataPool object/structure, of the current DataPool field. If the structure/object has only one level of variables in the hierarchy, then the $(PARENT_FULL_NAME) and the $(PARENT_NAME) returns the same value. If the structure/object has more than one level, the $(PARENT_FULL_NAME) returns the entire path of the structure from the requested level. The full name is returned in the format of: xx/yy/zz/. This special variable is applicable only in plug-ins that have an Action parameter.
Note: The Field Name parameter (the DataPool variable that triggers the action should be a part of the structure. The $(PARENT_FULL_NAME) value is defined according to this data field.
See $(PARENT) description for additional details.
$(FIELD_NAME): Returns the name of the DataField when used in a child container.
$(FIELD_FULL_NAME): Returns the full name of the DataField when used in a child container.
$(FIELD_DATA): Returns the value of a DataField.
$(SCENE_FULL_NAME): Returns the full path and scene name.
