Hello, I'm new to programming. But I would like to write a code for poser.

I'm a complete noob who doesn't know the basics. But I was wondering if somebody could give me an example code for a shortcut imposer.

I would like a script so I can press a key to select a body part on a figure.

Is there somebody that can give me an example that I will really appreciate?

Thank

Sorry but it is not very clear to me what you want.

You want a script that selects say the left hand of the current figure?

Once a script is in the scripts folder you can assign a shortcut to it via the shortcut editor:

for a script to call think of something like:

sc = poser.Scene()
try:
    fig = sc.CurrentFigure()
    try:
        act = fig.ActorByInternalName('rHand')
        sc.SelectActor(act)
    except:
        pass
except:
    pass

Sure it could be condensed further but with this layout I hope the proces is more clear.

Sorry for not being specific. Here is a link to what I'm making.

And also thank you for the example.

I'm going to use the unused keys that are in Windows but are not on a standard keyboard and set them to select and control the figure.

Here's an example of how I'm going to set the keys.

Set key F13 to select the right hand Set key F14 to move Zrotate 1 Set key F15 to move Zrotate -1

Also, the F14 and F15 will be on a rotary encoder dial, not actual keys or buttons.

I hope all this makes since

Thank you for explaining. I see you have some excellent examples already from a previous version.

Is there anything i can still help you with?

Yes, If I have a script for each command. Let's say 20. So in total, I will have 20 scripts and poser. Is there a way to set those scripts shortcuts quickly? Or will I have to still put in the script shortcut individually? One by one.

The links may be in some file somewhere and you may be able to hack it but I think it will be hard to beat double-clicking the line and making the shortcut combination in the editor.

Okay yeah that sounds the best

Also, I'm having trouble understanding this previous Script example I was given. Like I told you before I'm a noob at this. So with this code that I was given can you rewrite it so I can understand it better.

As in giving me an example of moving the current select item on the yRotate 1 point.

Thanks.

You may want to try the below.

I have set the increment to 15 degrees: (par.SetValue(val+15.0) so you see more easily the effect. Trust you can change this to your liking.
note this approach does not respect limits.

sc = poser.Scene()
try:
    act = sc.CurrentActor()
    try:
        par = act.Parameter('yRotate')
        try:
            val = par.Value()
            par.SetValue(val+15.0)
            sc.DrawAll()
        except:
            pass
    except:
        pass
except:
    pass

Thank you. this is perfect.

Is there a document with all the python script command that poser uses?
