Hey, everybody!
I'm trying to write a script for softimage using (JScript or VBScript) very little experience in writing scripts, sorry if anything

The question is
How can I activate the Tweak Component Tool (key “M”) using JScript or VBScript?
Can I know if this Tool is active now or not?

Hello! to activate Tweak Component Tool use TweakTool() command,
to know if it is currently active check if ActiveToolName property equals to "TweakTool", if(ActiveToolName == "TweakTool")

I find it strange that you would want to learning scripting for Softimage now. But if you are starting with scripting, I'd recommend start with Python, at least that knowledge would translate to other DCC software like Maya.

But to answer your question, in JScript (similar but not the same as JavaScript).

To activate :

//JScript

Code: Select all

Commands("Move Component Tool").Execute()

or

Code: Select all

Commands("Tweak Tool").Execute()

To query:

Code: Select all

if (ActiveToolName=='TweakTool'){
}

Hello! to activate Tweak Component Tool use TweakTool() command,

That would be simpler

Hey, everybody!

help please.

How can I get a list (array) of all texture clusters of a selected object? using JScript

[myara]

This would give you collections, not arrays.

Code: Select all

// Get All Clusters
var oSampleCls = oObj.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Clusters.Filter("sample");
var oPointCls = oObj.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Clusters.Filter("pnt");
var oPolyCls = oObj.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Clusters.Filter("poly"); 
var oEdgeCls = oObj.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Clusters.Filter("edge");
