ZScript Help

[cameyo]

Hi,
i need help.
1) There is a method to retrieve info about layers ?
(current layer,active layers, layers number, etc)
2) There is a method to trasform a number to a string ?
3) There is a method to append two string ?
(ex. [VarSet, one , "A"] [VarSet, two , "B"] [VarSet, TOT , append(one,two)])
4) I have defined three buttons with these shortcut: Shift+'J', Ctrl+'J' and 'J'.
Now pressing Shift-J or Ctrl-J executes the 'J' button too !!!
Maybe a Bug ?

For KenB:
In your ZScript "CommonTools" you can use 'j' instead 'D'; because 'D' is default shortcut for Brush Depth.

Thank you.

Hi, Cameyo -- let me see if I can help...

1) Here is the method I use to determine the currently-selected layer:

I check to see how many times I can press the "Move Layer Up" button, and that tells me how many layers "deep" my selected layer is. Here's a ZScript:




2) and 3) Currently, there is no support of string manipulations in the ZScript command set.

I have found a number of ways to work around this; if you'd like me to help you find a workaround, let me know.

4) I haven't had this problem -- can you send me a sample of your buttons, and I'll see if I get the same result?

Thanks for your questions,
dave
