Create CustomID

Overview

Items in Incari have a unique ID number, including Materials, Objects, Scenes, and Screens. The Create CustomID Node creates a new unique ID. (Note: these are the Instance IDs of Animations and Actions.)

This way, for example, the user can create a new ID for an Animation Block to differentiate between several Play Animation Nodes. This allows one to play different Animations simultaneously and have them appear as unique to each other within Incari.

Furthermore, it is possible for the same Animation to have multiple instances, thus resulting in different ID numbers for one Animation. Similarly, unless specified with the Create CustomID Node, two separate Animations will actually have the same ID (42) when passed through different Play Animation Nodes. To eliminate this possibility, one simply needs to create a CustomID before adding an Animation as input.

All of this also applies to Actions. For Actions, the default ID is 0. Refer to the links below to read more on Animations and Actions in Incari.
