see my recent post using events:
There are events in XSI which will call a script after you do newscene
(or others)
Example. Make a script of what you want to do: IE Boundary flags and
ambience (Use this as a template for others)
sub XSIApplication_OnEndNewScene( CustomData )
'script goes here - IE setting all camera to use field guides etc
set oRoot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
SetValue "*.*.camvis.gridfieldguidevis", True
SetValue "Views.*.*.camvis.attrselboundaryflags", True
SetValue oRoot & ".AmbientLighting.ambience.red", 0
SetValue oRoot & ".AmbientLighting.ambience.green", 0
SetValue oRoot & ".AmbientLighting.ambience.blue", 0
'script end
end sub
'Save all of this, beginning with sub...
Save this script and call it whatever you want : EG C:\Event.vbs
Now use another script to call this script and create the event
'put this in the script editor and run
filename = "C:\Event.vbs"
language = "VBScript"
Application.Advise "OnEndNewScene",filename,,language,"MyEvent",,,TRUE
'MyEvent is just the name I chose for this event - you can change
MyEvent to anything you want
That's it! - The event has been logged and will be called when you do
newscene.
To see the event. Go to File>Addon>Events
Chinny
PS to see more types of events - open the help pages and look up events
OnBeginNewScene: just before flushing the current scene and starting a
new one.
OnEndNewScene: just after creating a new scene.
OnBeginSceneOpen: just before flushing the current scene and opening a
different one.
OnEndSceneOpen: just after opening a scene.
OnBeginSceneSave: just before saving a scene.
OnEndSceneSave: just after saving a scene.
OnBeginSceneSaveAs: just before saving a scene under a new name.
OnEndSceneSaveAs: just after saving a scene under a new name.
OnTerminateApp: when XSI is closed.
OnSelectionChange: just after the selection is changed.
