Order of operations in script

[mathijs.stevens]

I’m working on a script to write the ElementID, VectorX, VectorY, VectorZ, VectorLength, LocationX, LocationY, LocationZ to some shared parameters. After writing to these parameters I want to export a Schedule to Excel.

I got every step working, the only problem is that the export is made before the parameter values are set. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi,

You only need one Passthrough Node, it should be second last.

I tried removing the redundant passthroughs but the effect was still the same. I tried to connect the voids of each custom node but weirdly enough no matter which one I connected the result stays the same. I would have thought at least one column would have been populated.
If I run the script twice the export is ok so could it be that some kind of update needs to happen between populating the parameters and exporting the schedule?

use a transaction.end node.

You’ll need to set the parameter value(s), end the transaction, then get the parameter values again if you’re looking for the value after it’s been set.

That was it, here’s my final script:

Thanks!
