Well, I finally got my script to save poses. There's just one catch. It seems that the .Value method for parameters doesn't return the actual dial setting. Instead, it returns a value equivalent to what the dial setting WOULD be if it included all of the ERC influences upon that dial. For example, if I have two morphs and they are both set to zero but they are controlled by a full body morph valueParm that is set to 2, them my script will store the FBM dial's setting as 2 and will also store the settings of each of the two morphs as 2 (despite the fact that they are actually set to 0, the .Value method returns 2 for each of them). The pose will then result in the morphs having an effective setting of 4 each, since the FBM gets set to 2 and so do both of the morphs. This is phenomenally dissapointing. I can see the value in having a method that returns the effective dial setting rather than the actual one, but where the hell is the method that returns the actual dial setting? And I just KNOW curious isn't about to fix the problem any time soon. Hell, I might as well ask them yet again to make the program save poses that include ERC for all the good it will do. (banging head on keyboard in frustration - can't those guys get ANYTHING right when it comes to valueParms? mutter mutter mutter)
