I'm (still!) working on a script to be released in the Renderosity FreeStuff. I've already got my PoserPython 'PropGoto' script working nicely (in Poser 6*) - if I have my prop already loaded and selected, and I also have a figure in the scene, the script will smartparent the prop to the figure's left/right hand (i.e. position, orient, and parent correctly, regardless of figure pose) and apply the correct handgrip pose to the figure's appropriate hand.

I have also written a DAZ Script that does the same thing. I've gone one step further with the DAZ Script - I've created a .DSA file to go in the same folder as the .PP2, with the same filename as the .PP2. When you double click the icon for the prop in DS3 or DS4 it loads my prop at the origin, but if you already have a figure selected it will load the prop smartparented to the figure's left/right hand, and apply the correct hand pose too.  Sort of SmartPropPlus.

Now obviously I want to do the same thing in Poser, but I can't work out how to load the prop from the PP2 file. Advice please!

 

*(I use the poser.DialogSimple.MessageBox/YesNo/AskMenu a fair bit, and I've read somewhere on this forum that these don't work in later versions of Poser. Could somebody please clarify?)

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
