Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 05 6:41 am)
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.
Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.
You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Subject: Figure Number in PoserPython?
Hi!
Try this:
- get the actors list for the current figure:
actors = poser.Scene().CurrentFigure().Actors()
-
loop through the actors and get the first one which is a body part with the "IsBodyPart" method
-
the internal name of the actor should be PartName:FigureNumber
so you should be able to extract the figure number after the colon
hope that helps

That's a great idea! I was not aware that the number was addended to the internal body part names like that. I'll try it. Thank you!

There's a complication with the suggested approach. I can't make any comparative statements to determine what number is addended to a body part, because PoserPython returns values in computerese. :) It's internal way or thining about things doesn't seem to resemble any of the ways it annotates those thoughts. (Kind of reminds me of myself, that way....)
So, fool that I am, I'm stuck. Now I need to ask if there is a way to convert this list of Actor objects to a list of body parts that can be read. I assume that's some kind of value to string conversion, but I'm not sure these listed parts count as integer values, so I have no idea how to approach the matter....
Am I missing an obvious approach?
Code:
#Find internal figure number----(Thanks, mkrueger!)---------------------------
actors = poser.Scene().CurrentFigure().Actors()
print actors
Result:
[, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ] Well, the list doesn't show up in the post, so I'm addending a text file to the next response....

D'Oh! I just spent all afternoon creating a "counter" method which would keep track of the figure numbers for me. It looks like this will be much simpler. Life's kind of a bummer when you're always just smart enough to keep doing things the hard way.... :) Thank you! Hopefully I'll fare better with this example than I did with the last one. Underestimating me is overestimating me, it seems. :)

"Addend" is not a verb. Thank you to an anonymous guardian of the whaddaycall vocabu-mo-lary. Note to others: Don't be like me!

I'm trying to develop a method to correctly apply JCM pointer poses using Python. This requires that I be able to determine the internal figure number for the parent/target figure. But PoserPython doesn't seem to have any tool to query the figure numbers. I thought I could work around it by assigning a new figure name, but I can't seem to locate anything that will do that, either.... Does anyone know any secret methods or tricky workarounds that might help me with this? I need to find the internal figure number, by which I mean the numbering applied internally to figures in the order in which they load in Poser. example: Figure 1 BODY:1
