[HtoA] Set AOV shader with operators

[jamesrobinsonvfx]

Is it possible to assign an AOV shader with operators? I have an .ass file with shaders & set parameters that I'm using to assign lookdev to some geometry, and in it I also force the AOV shader to be written to the archive. When using a set parameter operator to set aov_shaders on the options node, nothing seems to happen.

selection: *.(@node == 'options')

I've tried a few of the following:

aov_shaders = '/obj/shop/AOV/cryptomatte1'

aov_shaders = '/obj/shop/AOV/*'

aov_shaders = ['/obj/shop/AOV/cryptomatte1']

aov_shaders = ['/obj/shop/AOV/*']

It doesn't seem to work. I know it's grabbing the right options node though, because things like ignore_shaders = true and xres = 100 definitely work . Putting it in the parameter slot for AOV shaders on the ROP itself doesn't do anything either. I think my syntax is probably wrong.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

aov_shaders is an array

and it probably has to already exist before you can set individual elements

kinda like light groups
