Adding a (camera) key via Script ?

ZScripting Help
#1

Hi,

I am trying to set up a simple camera bookmark system that doesn’t need me clicking into the timeline each time I save a camera position (I have it hidden most of the time).
I played around with scripts and macros but setting a key frame in the timeline doesn’t seem to be recorded. What’s the command line for

a) setting a key at a specific time
b) setting the “current time” slider to a specific time (guess I could use the arrow keys instead but if there’s another way …)

Thanks,
Jens

It’s not currently possible to set a Timeline keyframe through zscript. What you can do is record your model’s position using the [TransformGet or [MTransformGet commands. You could then have zscript buttons that store/restore the positions of your model. (This is essentially the method used by the ZAppLink Views buttons.)

You might find a use for ModelVues8, a little plugin that lets you store and retrieve 8 model views. The downloadable zip file includes the .txt ZScript which shows exactly how it works so you can adapt the script to your own purposes.

hey that’s great thanks. Violating your script right now to make it into the desired one key to save view - one key to load view script. This is an excellent starting point.

thanks
