i want to ask, when ball 1 translate x conncet to plusminusaverage input1d(0)
then ball 2 connet to input1d(1), but input1d(1) not appear??
thank you for reply

That is because "input2" is a two parameters node, so you can only connect node which has two parameters to it. you will have better idea of input2 and input3 if you load the +/- average into connection editor, select "show readable" under "right/left display".

sorry!! i dont understand.
beucase i try it, when i use pshere1 connect to input2, but no response. why??
when form input change output, after i click the readable button .
why???

you could try to use mel script to connect the ball2.tx to input1d[1]. Open the script editor, and then type:
connectAttr -force ball2.translateX plusMinusAverage1.input1D[1];

Finally press Ctrl + Enter to execute the script.

eidosyam, I'm sorry I didn't read your post carefully. input1 has only ONE parameter input meaning you can only connect one parameter to it. That means input has only input1d[0] no input1d[1] or input1d[2] by default.

Of cource, you can use the melscript Vectoreffects written to force ball2.tx connect to input1d[1] (or even input1d[100]), but maya will not use it. My question to you is, what are you trying to do? Why do you neet to have ball2.tx connect to input1d[1]?

1. 首先開 hypershade & outliner
2. 喺 outliner 度, select 個 object, 按住 middle mouse button, drag 去 hypershade
3. Hypershade 裡面既 object node 右下角按 left mouse button (fig.1), select "translateX"
4. 駁去 plusMinusAverage 左下角既三角形, select "input1D[n] > [0]" (fig.2)
5. 然後同樣做法, 將 sphere2 output 駁去 plusMinusAverage input - "input1D[n] > [1]" (fig.3)
6. 完成
