Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Luc-Eric Rousseau]

Hello,
assuming this is pretty much the script you wrote, aren't you just
setting the bevel value when InspectObj returns?
That command will only return after the user clicks OK on the dialog

Actually, the operator changes done in a modal PPG can and should be 
reflected in the scene (try creating any primitive in immed mode).
The only difference is that the stack gets frozen, well, immediately 
after you click ok or cancel.


If you want to have this behavior in your custom operator, I found that 
it works well if your parameter callbacks look like this:


function OpXY_paramXY_OnChanged()
{
var operationMode = 
Preferences.GetPreferenceValue("xsiprivate_unclassified.OperationMode");

if(operationMode == siImmediateOperation)
DelayedRefresh();
}

Oh wow, thank you so much for pointing this out! It all makes sense now.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but I think it's because
you are inspecting the PPG in siModal mode.
siModal will give you a box to say OK or Cancel, but yes, changes are
not reflected live in the scene. This is what modal means.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Stefan Kubicek]

The cleanest way I suppose would be to have the PPG reside on the operator directly.Write a command to apply the op and display its PPG (points 1 and 2 in your list), then on the PPG there could be a button (calling a second command for instance) that freezes the object and performs your additional modeling operations (points 3 and 4).That's what I'd do. You could even create menu items for your command(s) and anchor them in one of the existing menus so you can call the operation(s) from there.Thank you for the links, I think these contain what I need.What would be the standard way for controlling operators? I'm not trying to do anything special, really just looking for the most straightforward way to:
1) Add a bevel operator2) Allow the user to change settings of the bevel operator3) Freeze the object4) Perform additional modeling operationsStep 2) is the only part where I need interactive user input. Once the user is happy and clicks OK, steps 3) and 4) must be automatically performed by the script.

No, it's not Immediate Mode. After the PPG is closed, the operator values update correctly. But they don't update when changing the slider value while the PPG is open.
I will delete the custom property once the user closes the PPG, so I think it's not too important where it's stored.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Martin Yara]

I don't think it is that unusual. I used to use proxy parameters with
controls I used a lot and weren't easy to access, or were in different PPGs
around my scene, like camera roll and camera fov.

I first tried OnChanged with roll, but the update is a little slow. A proxy
parameter would be a better option if you want faster interactivity.
A CopyPaste Link between parameters should work too, but the proxy would be
cleaner.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

Also take a look a proxy parameters. You can add proxy parameters from the 
operator to your custom PPG.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Christian Gotzinger]

Thank you for the links, I think these contain what I need.

What would be the standard way for controlling operators? I'm not trying to
do anything special, really just looking for the most straightforward way
to:
1) Add a bevel operator
2) Allow the user to change settings of the bevel operator
3) Freeze the object
4) Perform additional modeling operations

Step 2) is the only part where I need interactive user input. Once the user
is happy and clicks OK, steps 3) and 4) must be automatically performed by
the script.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Stefan Kubicek]

It is quite unusual to update operators based on another global PPG's parameter I think, though theoretically it should work if the operator uses the Property's relevant parameters as an input. Check out http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/sdkguide/si_om/CustomOperator.htmland in particular: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/sdkguide/si_om/CustomOperator.AddInputPort.htmlNo, it's not Immediate Mode. After the PPG is closed, the operator values update correctly. But they don't update when changing the slider value while the PPG is open.I will delete the custom property once the user closes the PPG, so I think it's not too important where it's stored.

No, it's not Immediate Mode. After the PPG is closed, the operator values
update correctly. But they don't update when changing the slider value
while the PPG is open.
I will delete the custom property once the user closes the PPG, so I think
it's not too important where it's stored.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Christian Gotzinger]

I may be doing it wrong because I've never used this, but I don't seem to
be able to access the operator by doing this? The operator is defined
outside the injected script.

Re: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[Stefan Kubicek]

Could it be that you have immediate mode enabled?Also, why do you store the parameters in a global PPG in the SceneRoot rather than on the actual operator per object?Hi list,My script generates a bevel operator on an object. I then want a PPG to pop up that allows the user to change certain parameters of the bevel operator. These parameters should update whenever the values in the PPG are changed. However, they only update after the PPG is closed via OK. Can someone point me in the right direction here?

RE: Controlling a parameter "live" via slider through scripting

[gareth bell]

I think you need some PPG.Logic

using an _OnChanged callback

Hi list,

My script generates a bevel operator on an object. I then want a PPG to pop up 
that allows the user to change certain parameters of the bevel operator. These 
parameters should update whenever the values in the PPG are changed. However, 
they only update after the PPG is closed via OK. Can someone point me in the 
right direction here?


Script is roughly as follows:

# Lots of stuff after which a bevel operator (op) is generated
MyPSet = A.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty("CustomProperty", False, "Bevel_Options")

MyLayout = MyPSet.PPGLayout
MyPSet.AddParameter3("PBevelRatio", c.siFloat, 10, 0.01, 100)
MySlider = MyLayout.AddItem("PBevelRatio", "Ratio", c.siControlNumber)

A.InspectObj(MyPSet, "", "Choose Bevel Options", c.siModal, False)


op.Parameters("ratio").Value = MyPSet.Parameters("PBevelRatio").Value


Thank you
Christian
