Allplan Forum: Visual Scripting: Allplan crashes with Visual Scripting

Hello all,

I have noticed in my script that when some nodes connect, the connection is interrupted or takes an exceptionally long time. The script normally works fluently without any problems. The errors shown in pictures 1 and 2 occur, when I connect two specific nodes with each other - regardless of whether I have already started the script or not. I only know this error from other programming languages when an infinite loop is created. Can this be related to this and what do I have to pay attention to in my script so that this error no longer occurs?

Update: This error only occurs in the Allplan version 2021, but not in version 2020! I tested both versions with the same file.

Best regards and a happy & successful new year

Marco

It might be related to the different list handling setting in some nodes in two Allplan versions. But without further information, it is really hard to locate the problem...

Another Allplan user replied in the German forum ( https://campus.allplan.com/de/forum/themen/topic/topics/cad-visual-scripting-1/allplan-2021-0-3-reagiert-bei-vs-nicht-mehr.html ) and suspected that I have a circular reference in my script, where the output of a node is connected to the input of a node further to the left and thus a kind of feedback occurs.

I had several circular references in my script, which I eliminated by rearranging the nodes (see picture 1). This actually fixed the problem for some nodes(although sometimes it takes a bit longer than usual), but not for all: In picture 2 and 3 you see some simple lines. In the first case, I could easily connect them with eachother, but in picture 3 I tried to connect them with the existing line on the right and it didn`t work again. Allplan 2021 stopped working.

But what I am still wondering is why this problem already occurs when arranging the nodes on the VS surface and not after running the script? The Allplan user suspects that the arrangement is checked when the connection is established and is just not recognised due to identical UUID's, which is why such an endless loop triggers this checking routine.

It is also strange why this only occurs in Allplan 2021-0-3 and not in Allplan 2020. Do you know if there`s been a change in the checking routine in version 2021?

Regards,

Marco
