thanks Stephen I'll try it out later today - but it looks like just what I needed.


something I was having difficulties with was how to use the " character within a string.
the Chr(10)'s are enters / end of line, right?


Is it the (only?) correct way to put the code as a sub on the bottom pane of the scripted operator editor?

Until now I just typed my code in the top pane, and that worked, but I noticed that when applying a scop through scripting it puts the code in the bottom pane. So I was a bit confused by that.

str = "sub fred_Update( ctx, out )" & Chr(10) _
& "   LogMessage ""fred::Update()""" & Chr(10) _
& "   out.Value = 2" & Chr(10) _
& "end sub"

'NewScene null, false
GetPrim "null"

Application.LogMessage "posx = " & GetValue( "null.kine.local.posx" )

dim op
set op = AddScriptedOp( "null.kine.local.posx", str ,null,"fred" )

Application.LogMessage "posx = " & GetValue( "null.kine.local.posx" )

it sounds trivial, but I spent all day trying to get it to work, applying a scripted operator from a script, in vbscript. contrary to most of the docs that have plenty vbscript examples, I didnt find an example of how to this. its the command I'm after, but rather how to feed it the code part.

if someone could point me in the right direction, and where to find
"scripted operators for newbies" info?
you're very welcome to RTFM me :-)
