removing custom script command 2005-06-18 - By Bernard Lebel

Hi Stefan,
I can't help it but to answer anyway, hopefully you'll not be mad at me ;-)
With the XSI 4.0+ plugin architecture, you can do pretty much everything
"on-the-fly". If you check into your
users/you/Softimage/XSI_xx/Application directory, you'll see a Plugins
directory, next to the toolbars, spdl, layouts, view, bin and
potentially others. Anything you drop in these directories will be
picked up when you launch XSI.
In the case of the Plugins dir, this is where you put self-installed
plugins, that is, plugins that can be loaded and unloaded and that don't
require you to register anything. This includes self-installed custom
commands, events, and even compiled tools.
So what you are looking for right now is a self-installed custom
command. If you go to Application > Commands > New Self-Installed Custom
Command..., you get a wizard to create such a command. Fill in the
informations that you need, and click Generate Code. You can tell the
wizard that your command needs some arguments, however as far as I'm
concerned I never specify a handler for arguments (None) nor a default
value.
This will generate a template for this command, where you only need to
drop the actual script code. In the function called
<yourcommandname>_Execute( ), replace the line
' TODO: Put your code here.
By your code. If you have functions in your script, you can put them
inside that Execute( ) function if you use JScript or Python. In
VBScript, put them outside the Execute( ) function.
Now if you go back into your Plugins directory, you should that command
file there. If you edit this file and resave it, the only thing you need
to do to get the changes in XSI is to go to File > Plugins > Manager and
click the Update button. This will reload all plugins that have been
changed. You can even move the plugin file to your workgroup and click
the update button, XSI should pick the command from the new location.
Cheers
Bernard
