New Plugs - XYZ Fonts - UPDATE_B

[Roland Kaiser]

Hello again,
sorry for two updates in about two days.
Anyway, i put new an "Draw Size" slider and two "Draw Size" button to my plugin.
There is just one thing that not working very well.
So, if i'm moving the draw size slider on the ZBrush interface, than my plug slider is not moving or if i'm using the draw size button on the plugin, then also the slider in my plug is not moving,
But the slider by his own is working very well .
So i need help from someone of you, to repair that!

To install, unzip all three files. Every Zip includes :3DFont-Files and 3DFont-LOADER.
So now, put the "3DFont-Files1 / 3DFont-LOADER1.zsc", "3DFont-Files2 / 3DFont-LOADER2.zsc" and "3DFont-Files3 / 3DFont-LOADER3.zsc" in your ZStartup/ZPlugs folder.
After installation, you will find a new submenue called "XYZ-Fonts" in your ZPlugin menue. It includes three new buttons and every button is named according the font name.

hello Cameyo, hello marcus_civis
you know , i made this XYZFonts series. So, everytime i work with my Plug i have new usefull ideas which i like to put in there. Now i'm almost finished that thing to my satisfaction. I add a lot of new function. So now i wanne complet that thing with two last sliders. It's a "Shadow Itensity"- and a "Shadow Length" Slider.
This two sliders drives my crazy. You know. I spend a couple hours to make this sliders working , but they still doesn't working. I know, the code on this two slider is not correct. But i can't find the right way by my self.
So,you Guys are two masters of Scripts & Plugs writing and i'm sure you two nice guys can help me to finish that thing.
So if you have time it would nice to have a look on my Code.
Here is the Zip with my XYZFont Script Panel.
(Peoples, don't download that plug here, it's not finished.)
Many to thanks to you Cameyo and Marcus

You've got some nice functionality in this. Nice work.

Good.

I've not had time to look at this until now, but this is how I would have done it. The code for your two sliders:

[ISlider,"Shadow Int",75,1,1,100,"Set The Shadow Intenesity",
    [IPress,Light:Shadow:Shadow]
    [ISet,Light:Shadow:Intensity,[IGet,"zscript:Shadow Int"]],,150     
]
     
[PenMove,14]

[ISlider,"Shadow Len",75,1,1,100,"Set The Shadow Lenght",
    [IPress,Light:Shadow:Shadow]
    [ISet,Light:Shadow:Length,[IGet,"zscript:Shadow Len"]],,150
]

As you will have discovered, you need to get the value from the zscript slider before you can set the UI interface sliders. The zscript sliders can be referenced as I've done above but you must make sure the button paths are correct. I frequently change the names of sliders and then get an error becuse I've forgotten to update the button path code!

You don't really need the [IPress,Light:Shadow:Shadow] as the slider values are set without it and you also have a Shadow option button (which you might consider making into a switch so as to give feedback as to whether shadows are set on or off.)

HTH,

Hi marcus,

I renamed the butten and forgot to do that in the path.
