Quote - Your script sounds like a great thing. I tried mr_looper4e.py in P6, unfortunatly it does not seem to work for me. Is this a version limitation, or am I doing something wrong? The prop itself seems to function OK, but when I turn RUN SCRIPT to one, there is no indication that anything is happening. Same when I set END SCRIPT. No indication that python is running, no error messages, no new props. Am I supposed to set RUN SCRIPT to zero before setting END SCRIPT to one? Do I need to leave an interval between setting RUN SCRIPT and END SCRIPT, if so how long? Should I expect to see a python window? Any thoughts?
You're using Poser 6. Hmm. I've tested this with Posers 7 and 8 and found it working. I would assume that if I'm using some Python method not available to Poser 6, there would be an error. Hmm.
You shouldn't need any interval. You can just delete the prop if the script won't run. That will kill the callback, assuming the callback is running for you.
You didn't receive a printed statement that no vertices were found? It doesn't sound like it. There should only be a Python console if the plane has only intersected edges (or nothing), and hasn't found any vertices with which to work.
Are you running any other Python script which use a callback, when trying to run this?
I'll try to prepare a script version which will print statements about which step in the process has been reached. If you run that, it should help identify where things are falling down.
Sorry for the trouble, Les. I hope I can get this working for you.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
