Command.Execute using Guid is not possible targeting combined commands

[Egil Sandfeld]

As title says, using Command.Execute, Command.Exists using the Guid variation does not allow for calling commands that are either pre or suffixes.

I had to test for some hours, before realising this. Perhaps documentation should mention this limitation, or methods should allow for calling at least the suffix, if possible.

Just a heads up

Thanks for the heads up, Egil.  Composite command functionality is documented, however it's not repeated throughout the help document as that thing is vastly enormous as it stands :(





Composite commands are treated very differently throughout the system, so, the best thing for you to do is to duplicate your suffix command and change its type to a full command so you can execute it - or create a subcommand that the suffix and full command can call (to avoid duplication).

[Egil Sandfeld]

Thanks for pointing me to that

Also, when a command with InstanceID is duplicated in VA profile, the new duplicated command has the same InstanceID. Perhaps that should be cleared?

[Gary]

What instanceid are you referring to?  The instanceid in an effect set?

[Egil Sandfeld]

I'm referring to the InstanceId in every command in the VAP file which is duplicated from one command that already has an InstanceId assigned. Then multiple commands have the same InstanceId.

[Gary]

You're probably referring to, 'InternalID' - up until relatively recently, this was just an author flag - the proxy code has built up around it since then, so, yeah - that was being duplicated.  It will be set to null on duplication in the next beta (this is also applicable to profile duplication).

Thanks for the heads up!
