Conditional feature suppression?

maximilian_schommer

Does anyone know if there is a way to suppress previous features in featurescript? I can select the features and get the feature id and function, but don't know how to do anything with it. It seems like there might be some fundamental issues with this problem since feature studios build linearly, and a future feature suppressing a past feature would require some pre-processing that I'm not sure is being done.

I don't think it is possible, if you look at the code of part studio you will see each feature call is wrapped in "if (true){}" if feature is active or in "if (false){}" if feature is supressed. so supression is not in the scope of feature responsibility itself. moreover later features can't change arguments of prevous ones.

One of the tenets of FeatureScript is that it cannot modify other features. It can modify bodies of course but only at that point in the regeneration history.

Your best bet would be to instantiate a configuration.

Ok, that makes sense. I have a configuration that I'm trying to make "responsive", as in some parts of the configuration become activated as certain conditions are met. I just saw @ilya_baran s instantiator, and am probably going to just make the entire studio into a feature so I can do the configurability within a single feature.
