Well,
it all seems to work fine... why is it so evil? What can I expect to go wrong?
And if it ain't the right way then please show me the right
one!

It's
evil though. You shouldn't be doing a GetValue in an operator on an object
that you are not connected to as input.

Oh
right... why didn't I think of that!? Yeah, I don't use scops much anymore
myself but in this case it's much quicker to do it that way.
Thanks!

(its been a while I don't use scops too much now.)
I recall you can use dictionary,getobject and traverse up.

Heu, this might sound weird but how
can I get, from within the scripted operator, the name of the
object on which the scripted operator is applied? Lets say for
example the output of the scripted op is " null.kine.local", well, I
want to extract the string "null". If I do a LogMessage(out.value); it will log me "null.kine.local". So
I though I would try getting it using out.value.parent.parent
but it gives me an error message. I must be missing something
obvious but I can't seem to find it. Anyone has a suggestion?
Thanks.
