Ok you Python guru's, I constantly load preset light sets to see effects in my scene, but after a while I have all these lights that I've turned off and don't need them cluttering up the scene. Is there a python script out there that will delete all lights in a scene that are turned "OFF"? I've got scripts to delete all lights no matter what and delete lights below a certain intensity, but these don't allow selection of lights turned "OFF" Thanks you guys that write this stuff... I thought "Python" was part of the "Monty Flying Circus" series... LOL

What version of Poser is it for ?

Poser 6, if that helps... thanks

Hmmm, there is one in the free stuff, but I can't remember who made it. EDIT: I dug up the thread where I asked about the same thing. There is a link in there to a script or utility

heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Your in luck then, as there's now an Actor method to detect whether a light is on or off (link is to Poser Python forum).

Didn't Ockham do something for this? I believe it's in his free stuff section, and it's called Light Panel

Thanks everyone, this is great to see the feedback... "nruddock", I went to you link, but couldn't get the script to work, I'm sure I'm missing something...

Again thanks everybody... I don't know why, because I don't write Python code, but being a hacker from way back, I decided to have a go at mixing code and seeing what happens.... It works... don't know why or how, but this little bit of Python, deletes all lights in a scene that are switched off. This makes it easier to work with only the lights you want and not have to manually delete the ones you don't want. [Code starts:] import poser scene=poser.Scene() lights=scene.Lights() for lig in scene.Lights(): if not lig.LightOn(): lig.Delete() [Code Ends:] Just say it as "DelOFFLights.py" or anything else you like and run it to delete "OFF" lights

Remember to actually put the spaces/tabs into the code!

For example - the code should be something like the following:

[Code starts:]
import poser
scene=poser.Scene()
lights=scene.Lights()

for lig in scene.Lights():
  if not lig.LightOn():
    lig.Delete()
[Code Ends:]

Strange, it works for me without the "import poser" line. I've been including it in previous P6 scripts as it did seem to need it.
