Zscript problem with [IModGet]
Hey polycounters! I’m currently working on a Zbrush script to speed up my pipeline to Substance, but ran into an anomaly I can’t wrap my head around. Chances are this is a no-brainer, since I’m completely new to Zscript and not the biggest scripter in the first place. So please DO state the obvious. The script is supposed… -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
Oh! Well I totally missed that too so don't be too embarrassed. Using the IDs of the subtools seems like a better/faster way. I will have to integrate that in. SubtoolSelect and SubtoolGetActiveIndex are relatively new to the Zscript lexicon. Most of my script were written before ST indexes were a thing. -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
So i tried everything you suggested, this definitely made my code more future proof, yet the problem remains. Here is a gif to illustrate the behavior: Once I hide a subtool everything below is messed up, to a degree where even the state is displayed wrong, like so: Does that ring any bell with you? I uploaded the working… -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
Oh wow thank you! This is nothing I would have ever thought of. If I recall correctly this also happened with fewer (only ~5) stubtools though. I'll test it once I get home from work. I'll also upload a working script :) Thanks again, for taking the time! -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
That's a cool idea! I created a thread over at zbrushcentral, described the issue and will see if someone can make this work. But if nothing comes of it, I'll use your solution :) ! -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
So Marcus took a look into it and reason was actually quite embarrassing,.. because it even was discribed that way in the documentation of the ZFileUtils. Having multiple subtools with the same name caused problems when rerun. Here is link to said post for the intressted reader/google user.… -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
So I spent awhile looking at this and testing some stuff... and I'm going to say calling the "PasteText" from the DLL is busted. I'm not surprised. If you replace that with any normal, non DLL command it works. I tried re-writing it from scratch with the same results you are seeing. That sucks because this is a pretty neat… -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
I use two Routines to send the ST up, do the rename, then send it back down to where it was. If you were doing ALL subtools regardless of visibility if you send all of them to the top the order will remain the same once you loop over all of them. [RoutineDef, ActiveUp, [Loop,1000,… -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
Urgh that sucks, I feared that my code was not the problem here.. Thank you so much though, for taking the time and get to the core of the problem! I will try to get a hold of Marcus and will post here if there are any news. As a last resort your idea sounds fine, but I’d hate to mix up the subtool order,.. -
Re: Zscript problem with [IModGet]
Oh I just thought of something else. [IModGet,[StrMerge,"Tool:Sub Tool:",#subTName<span>]</span> Could be checking as a string instead of the intended integer since you are using StrMrg. Trying setting the whole thing to a Var beforehand and using [Val, variable] to make sure its a number in the If statement. I didn't use…
