Oz,

I think that you can solve this problem by using a scripted op.
Simply get a new object ( a null for example).
Place a scripted operator on any parameter.
Place your code:

SetValue "Dog_Head.Head.polymsh.clustershapecombiner.Point_AUTO_Wt", 0

SetValue
"DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Texture_Projection5.
CameraTxt.Freeze", False

SetValue
"DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Texture_Projection5.
CameraTxt.Freeze", True

SetValue "DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.clustershapecombiner.Point_AUTO_Wt", 1

before the Out.Value = 1 (could be any desired value, not necessarily
one)

Then add a variable (you can call it "update") and place a single
keyframe

on it in order to have the op update on every frame.

I have created a scene with the names matching your scene's object
names.

I can send it to you off the list if you like.

Hope this helps,

  Jabbar

Subject: HELP: Bug running a script

This pretty urgent! I've encountered a bug running a script, and I am in
a middle
of the tight project...

I am doing a camera projection on shape animated face,

I need to mute shape deformation BEFORE each frame, unlock the cam
projection-
lock it again, then turn on the shape deformation again..

it all works great when doing it MANUALY..
but when Puting it into a script it doesnt work when being run.

here's the script:

rem * mute shape animtion *
SetValue "DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.clustershapecombiner.Point_AUTO_Wt", 0
rem * un lock cam projection *
SetValue
"DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Texture_Projection5.
CameraTxt.Freeze", False
rem * Lock cam projection *
SetValue
"DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Texture_Projection5.
CameraTxt.Freeze", True
rem * un mute shape animation *
SetValue "DOG_HEAD.HEAD.polymsh.clustershapecombiner.Point_AUTO_Wt", 1

I've tried running those commands from the script editor,  one at a time
(one line script) , and it works.. running them automaticaly one after
the other (as a four line script) and it doesnt do a thing..

I even tried to make delays between each line of a few seconds.. doesnt
work as well..

I really need help on this one.. any work around? any other way of
making this autamitacly?

thanks!!!
