Hi,

I noticed some python scripts that come with Vue 6 Infinite, is their anyway to find out what these scripts do exactly?

I know the filename sometimes gives it away but it is not very clear.

Thanks
Jon

Guess you need to try them out!

Hi,

Yes I did, while they looked great it wasn't really clear what their use would be.

That is why I posted here so maybe someone can tell me what they are supposed to do rather than telling me to try them out when I have already done that.

Take for instance Plant Generator, what is its purpose? It creates a terrain and places plants on it, is that what it does? Create random scenes? Or is it supposed to create plants for you?

A simple text file with the examples would have been very helpful.

Thanks
Jon

Hey, no need to get upset! This plant generator does what it did when you tried it: create a terrain and add random plants. If you don't have more options, then that's all it does. If you know python language, you can change the plants it generates. You can open the py script with the windows note pad, and then change the plants names there and resave the script.

If you open up the scripts in notepad or an Ascii reader of some sort, you will find an explanation of each script at the top of the file.  The scripts by themselves aren't really all that useful for anything in particular.  They are there to serve as examples of how write python scripts in Vue.

Hi Bruno,

I am not upset, it maybe just the way I write. Ok, I wanted to start experimenting with Python, I know nothing about the language so thought I would play with the examples, thus where my query came from, I was interested in knowing what the scripts were supposed to do, because as you can imagine what it says and what happens can be 2 different things.

Also, I was confused about what is a "starter" and what is a "builder". I mean just a simple doc that says you do this first would have been handy. Then again I am guessing Python is aimed at people who know what they are doing and a doc like that is probably a bit above the people using Python lol.

Thanks
Jon

Thanks dburdick, guess I should have looked in the file first! :)

Thanks
Jon

Well, python is certainly above me too, right now! The python documentation in your Vue "documentation" folder has links to official python sites, so if you're interested, you can follow the links. I've seen books about py as well, if you really want to get into it.

Hi,

Yes, I am quite interested in learning Python, especially automating some tasks which a simple script might be able to accomplish. I will check out the documentation with Vue and the official sites.

Thanks for your help.

Jon
