OnInit Event not firing

[Nik]

I have an event-based PIO Linear Object that doesn't seem to be firing the OnInit event. I have an AlrtDialog that fires immediately after vsoGetEventInfo function but I never get an event ID of 5. Specifically I don't get it the first time I use the tool after opening VW2023.

 

Any thoughts?

What is the logic flow of your code?

 

-> get_custom_info_ok, plugin_name_internal, plugin_handle, plugin_record_handle, plugin_wallHand = vs.GetCustomObjectInfo()

 

-> if get_custom_info_ok:

<main plugin code functions>

 

-> theEvent, theMessage = vs.vsoGetEventInfo()

set an AlrtDialog for both theEvent, and theMessage and see what you get

The weird thing is another PIO I use the logic is working fine,  This is what I have done to try and figure out what is going on.

this is python Script in the script editor.:

 

import _Gizmo

 

id, button = vs.vsoGetEventInfo()
vs.AlrtDialog(f'Script Editor {id}') #normally I don't make this call here but in the _Gizmo.run after running the vs.GetCustomObjectInfo call
_Gizmo.run(id, button)

 

this is the python Script in "_Gizmo.run":

 

vs.PushAttrs

event.id, event.button = eventID, eventButton

pioName, hPIO, recHand, wallHand = 0, 0, 0, 0

ok, pioName, hPIO, recHand, wallHand = vs.GetCustomObjectInfo(pioName, hPIO, recHand, wallHand)

if ok:

    vs.AlrtDialog(f'Gizmo.run {event.id}')

 

vs.PopAttrs

 

When I exit the VW SciptEditor I get the following alerts:

 

Script Editor 5

Script Editor 3

Gizmo.run 3

 

So it appears the onInit event is not "finishing"
