    comfy w/ vectorscript lost w/ python

    in Python Scripting

    Posted

    Hey All,

    Hopefully I am not the only one.

    I have been writing VS for many years now, and can make it behave for me. This Python beast has bitten me now to the point of frustration. I am learning Python through tutorials, but want to know how all of this work with VW. I have installed python and Aptana Studios and i think i have linked it correctly, but am lost from here.

    Is there someone out there who can create a step by step tutorial on how one can:

    Create a python script

    Save it

    Link it

    Debug it

    Make it work in VW.

    Make a template with all the necessary stuff to make new script.

    I not asking for the world but a simple rectangle PIO would be wonderful.

    Marionette has intrigued me to learn Python... I am I just need a little push on how to make this all swirl together

    Thanks

    counters

    in Marionette

    Posted

    Is it possible to create a counter node to keep a running total of integers or real numbers.

    I am stepping thru a sorted list and would like to know

    the total of the width of the objects in the list while going thru the list

    Step 1 = width item (0) = answer 1

    Step 2 = width item(0) + width item(1) = answer 2

    Step 3 = width item(0) + width item(1) + width item(2) = answer 3

    etc, etc

    working with a width in this case but it could be most anything height area, etc

    Thanks,

    setting a node field

    in Marionette

    Posted

    I have a check system in place that keeps a user input number within a specific range. it works on the marionette node object just fine.

    I would like to reset the user field to the modified data.

    Is there a way to do this. Good old "SetRField" always worked on a PIO, but not sure about a marionette object.

    Still learning python, so making my own node is a bit limited and frustrating at the same time.

    "If" node question

    in Marionette

    Posted

    Hello,

    Most of this is making sense, but my question is a little different. I'm using a bool node and "IF" node to allow the user to add an additional object or not. How does on go about drawing an object or NOT. I guess I am looking for an IF THEN statement??

    OIP Information

    in Marionette

    Marionette Newbie Here

    Testing my limits and digesting information here.

    Is there a way to create a node so information can be displayed in the OIP? I can get message to work, but I would like to see the results in the OIP.

    Thanks

    PIO Pop-up

    in Vectorscript

    Posted

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for the input. I am beginning to figure this out now.

    Kind of like real estate industry in placing these calls. It all has to do with Location, Location, Location.

    Sorry I didn't get back sooner, but my day job got in the way this week.

    PIO Pop-up

    in Vectorscript

    Posted

    Hello,

    I have a PIO that allows the user to select from a list table leg types.

    Once the type is selected the user can then make adjustments to it (height, diameter, color, etc).

    If the user selects a different leg from the pop-up list, I would like to have the PIO redraw to its default settings.

    what is the best way to accomplish this?

    Thanks in Advance

    AddListBrowserImage

    in Vectorscript

    Posted

    It seems a handful of deprecated functions and procedures has caught up to me now. Is there a sample script around that will show me the correct syntax to load the standard images for a list browser using "AddListBrowserImage". I'm looking for the basic images, "check", "blank", etc.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks,

    Jeff Miller

    extrude along path

    in Vectorscript

    Posted

    Hello,

    I am attempting to create an arc (270 deg) extrude along path of an oval.

    This work fine, but what i need to do is offset the the arc (converted to nurbs) along the Y axis so the extrude will not intersect with itself (sort of a helix) when complete. I am offsetting each vertex of the nurbs by (the profile oval width by the number of vertex of the nurbs in the curve). This works, BUT the oval begins to twist so that is not in the same plane as it started (not good). IS there a way to keep the profile of the extude to not rotate. Is this a knot or weight thing? Nurbs are new to me, and seem to be a big can of worms. Any hint would be helpful. The ultimate goal is (for theater guys) is to create a Choke of a spanset around a truss.

    Thanks

    Posted

    Hello,

    How would you go about pulling the information out of a ListBoxN

    when it is set for multiple selection?

    The amount of items selected?

    What has been selected?

    TIA

    Database worksheets attaching additional records

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a database worksheet showing a list of symbols that do not have a certain record attached to them. Is it possible to add a column that will allow me to attach a new record to the symbol, then enter the information to the newly attached record. if this is possible,any clues on the syntax in the column header would be helpful

    Thanks,

    Jeff Miller
