Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

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.

I am trying to lock a light in place. Is this possible in Python? I can't seem to figure it out. TIA!

Not sure that this is useful for lights, but see attached link.

To get a light to stay in the same place relative to something other than the Universe, it can be parented and pointed at (an invisible prop may be needed for correct targeting).

More details would produce a more exacting answer.

Hey Noel,

What you discussed is exactly what I am trying to do. Someone was asking about parenting lights to an object, holding the lights in position. I was trying to do this using just one primitive for the target, but not actually having the lights pointing at it. I just want the lights to keep whatever position they were already in, but be parented to the prop.

Does this make sense? Thanks for the help. Lou

Okay, I think I worked around it well enough. Thanks.
