I have to confess - I've looked at script writing and it looks like Greek to me. (This is a repost from the old forums.)
I've tried the record functions with no success.
What I'm trying to do is probably simple - add a number of cubes to a scene (resolution 1) with predefined x,y,z coordinates. I would also like to specify their color and dimensions. Can anyone help? I've searched the forums and haven't found anything that helps. |

As for the macro record, did you try both tutorials from chapter 2.14 in docs ? They should work ok and you can explore some recorded scripts then.
As for your cube creator, perhaps you can start with existing script demos located in Activities / MyActivities library (Make Crystal, Make Tree).
Also when you start macro recorder with empty scene and add / position some cubes from the objects library, the recorded script could give you a clue.
Come on guys, can't wait to see some cool scripts :)
Situation should become better when DG chapers will be avaliable as well. |

I have tried using both JScript and VBScript macro recorders.
I set the cube resolution to 1 and start recording. I add the cube to the scene, resize it, and change it's color. When I stop recording and examine the script, I get the following:
Sub Execute(params)
' Macro captured 02/01/06 14:42:44
End Sub
This happens with both JScript and VBScript.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to be recording anything.
To be more specific, in my latest attempt, I created the cube, changed size to 3*3*2, moved to 1.785, 1.561, 0.813, and changed the color to 255R, 30G, 30B. Still produced an apparently empty script. |

When you start recording the macro in either vbscript or jscript you need to doing the movements, scaling anything withen the player view or it won't record anything. |

Yes, this records Player activity - movement and scaling etc in the Model view won't show. I believe LE changes, eg entering new values, might be recorded - but never tested or explored it :)
HTH!
