Bug running a script

Bug running a script

Reply:     1     2     3     4     5  

dont think I can use scripted op.. cuase I am not that clever :)  
I usually copy/paste commands to build simple repetitive scripts..

whats the Syntax for refreshing? is it simply REFRESH between each line?
I'll be infront of XSI only Sunday morning (it's a tight project, but they cant
make me work on Saturday :)
so I'll check it up then..
hope it works.. or I'll have to manualy render around 200 frames :)

thanks!
Oz.

 it may well work but you sailing dangerous waters. Using commands in a
scripted op and referencing objects other than through connection ports is a
serious no-no.
 Have you tried a refresh in between the command, Oz?

   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!!!
