ShapeScript Image from TaggedValue, Possible ?

[dge98753]

Hello,

Do you think it is possible to display an image depending on a tagged value without if/else testing ?
Here is what I test in a ShapeScript but it does not works.

Code: [Select]

image("#TAG:MyTaggedValue#", 0, 0, 100, 100);
The element has a TaggedValue named "MyTaggedValue" that contains a string that corresponds to the name of an image loaded into the image library.
But the image is not displayed.
Does someone have an idea why ?
It looks like if the macro is not resolved into the image function.

I'm not sure, but I would expect that it isn't possible.

Shapescript pretty limited in functionality, partly because it needs to be super fast.
Getting an image based upon a tagged value cannot be cached (as is possible with hardcoded image names)

I think the only way is to have all possible images in a (long) if-the-else nesting to test different tag values. But dynamically: pretty sure this isn't possible.
