Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 02 3:16 pm)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
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.

This returns all zeros but the current actor is not at co-ordinates 0,0,0 ....

import poser
scene = poser.Scene()
act = scene.CurrentActor()

xyz = act.Origin()

print "xCord: " + str(xyz[0]) + " yCord: " + str(xyz[1]) + " zCord: " + str(xyz[2])

IIRC, the Origin describes an actor's position when the figure is zero'd. If you want the absolute position of an actor in world coordinates, try the WorldDispaclement().

Thank you stewer, that's just what I needed.
