Re: Script: Removing Parameters from Action Sources?

[André Adam <a_adam(at)49games.de>]

Yep:

 //Creates new action source from input source, excluding a defined 
parameter list
 function ooRecreateSource(oSource, aBadParams){
   //Create new action source
   var oModel = oSource.Model;
   var oNewSource = oModel.AddActionSource(oSource.Name + "_temp");
   //Test all source items with bad parameters list
   var eSourceItems = new Enumerator(oSource.SourceItems);
   while(!eSourceItems.atEnd()){
     var oFound = false;
     for(var i=0; i<aBadParams.length; i++){
       if(eSourceItems.item().Target == aBadParams[i]){
         oFound = true;
       }
     }
     //Copy current source item to new source if not present in bad 
parameter list
     if(!oFound){
       oNewSource.AddSourceItem(eSourceItems.item().Target, 
eSourceItems.item().Source);
     }
     eSourceItems.moveNext();
   }
   return oNewSource;
 }

However, recreating a whole mixer this way is anything but fun, my last 
week's script is something like a 400 lines, and it still misses out 
things I don't need to copy for our current production scenario...

Cheers!
