Where and how can I use the Selected position of a ramp texture, for example in a SDK. SDK is available with rClik but gives an error. Done it before but can’t remenber how!

What are you wanting to connect the ramp color to?

Well, you could create a custom attribute in the channel editor - and use it to drive your translation and ramp shader. If you could explain more specifically what your wanting to do, it’d be a little easier to help with.

With the ramp selected in the Connection Editor, you should see ‘colorEntryList’ 0,1,2 by default - click the little plus signs and you can access ramp position.

I understand your frustration that you cannot get the Color Entry list stuff to show up in the SDK menu. You can get some more items to show up by unchecking “List Keyable Driven Attributes” in the Options Menu of the SDK panel. But while position does show up I don’t think it is quite what you are looking for. My suggestion in your case, especially since the math is so clean, would be to connect the two attributes with a Multiply/Divide node in between.
To do this, open the hypershade window. In the viewport, select the object and then in the Hypershade click the Textures tab and shift select the ramp texture you want to use. With both the Object and the Ramp selected, click GRAPH - Input and Output Connections
You should see the selected objects appear in the work area below.
Then click CREATE - General Utilities - Multiply Divide. This should be added to the work area.
Now using the Connection Editor, connect the TranslateX of the Object to the input 1X of the Mult/Div node. Then use the Connection Editor to connect the OutputX of the Mult/Div node to the desired color entry list position. The last, and most important step in to select the Mult/Div node and enter a value (in your case I would suggest .1) in the input 2X. Just to be safe confirm that the Operation of the node is set to Multiply and you should be all set. When the translate X of the object is at 5 then the color entry position will be at .5.
Change the math to taste and best of luck.
