Scripting

    I writing a script to change most of my artwork in the small package I'm working on. I can get the script to work for the color chips but any other files after that I can't get to update when the new theme is picked. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and looking for some help. In my home team I have buttons to pick the theme for the night. I've attahed the whole script file if anyone would be able to help. 

    These lines work...

    self.GetObjectByName("AWAY PRIMARY", awayprimary)
    awayprimary.GetMaterial(0, awayprimarymat)
    awayprimarymat.GetShader(0, awayprimaryshad)
    awayprimaryshad.SetFilename(filepath.Text & away.text & "\PRIMARY.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("AWAY SECONDARY", awaysecondary)
    awaysecondary.GetMaterial(0, awaysecondarymat)
    awaysecondarymat.GetShader(0, awaysecondaryshad)
    awaysecondaryshad.SetFilename(filepath.Text & away.text & "\SECONDARY.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("AWAY TERTIARY", awaytertiary)
    awaytertiary.GetMaterial(0, awaytertiarymat)
    awaytertiarymat.GetShader(0, awaytertiaryshad)
    awaytertiaryshad.SetFilename(filepath.Text & away.text & "\TERTIARY.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("HOME SECONDARY", homesecondary)
    homesecondary.GetMaterial(0, homesecondarymat)
    homesecondarymat.GetShader(0, homesecondaryshad)
    homesecondaryshad.SetFilename(filepath.Text & "PHX\" &  home.text & "\SECONDARY.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("HOME TERTIARY", hometertiary)
    hometertiary.GetMaterial(0, hometertiarymat)
    hometertiarymat.GetShader(0, hometertiaryshad)
    hometertiaryshad.SetFilename(filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.text & "\TERTIARY.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("HOME GRADIENT", homegrad)
    homegrad.GetMaterial(0, homegradmat)
    homegradmat.GetShader(0, homegradshad)
    homegradshad.SetFileName(filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.Text & "\GRADIENT.PNG")



    These lines don't work...

    self.GetObjectByName("ARROW", arrow)
    arrow.GetMaterial(0, arrowmat)
    arrowmat.GetShader(0, lowershortshad)
    arrowshad.SetFileName(filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.text & "\ARROW.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("SHOTCHART BACKGROUND", shotchartbackground)
    shotchartbackground.GetMaterial(0, shotchartbackgroundmat)
    shotchartbackgroundmat.GetShader(0, shotchartbackgroundshad)
    shotchartbackgroundshad.SetFileName(filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.text & "\SHOTCHART BACKGROUND.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("BOX LEFT", boxleft)
    boxleft.GetMaterial(0, boxleftmat)
    boxleftmat.GetShader(0, boxleftshad)
    boxleft.SetFileName(filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.text & "\BOX LEFT.PNG")

    self.GetObjectByName("FRAME LEFT", frameleft)
    frameleft.GetMaterial(0, frameleftmat)
    frameleftmat.GetShader(0, frameleftshad)
    frameleftshad.SetFileName(filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.text & "\FRAME LEFT.PNG")

    Hi ERICR.


    You don't have 'Dim..as' in the script.
       

    Dim arrow, shotchartbackground, boxlef, boxleft, frameleft As xpBaseObject
Dim arrowmat, shotchartbackgroundmat, boxleftmat, frameleftmat As xpMaterial
Dim arrowshad, shotchartbackgroundshad, boxleftshad, frameleftshad, lowershortshad As xpBaseShader
Dim filepath, home, away As xpTextObject

    I have Dim at the front and as at the end of the line. If I add it to the front after the Dim or change the A to a capital letter I get all these errors.
    Isn't the line normally written like this....
    Dim something, something, as xpBaseObject
    Dim something, something, as xpMaterial
    Dim something, something, as xpBaseShader

    Yes, it's quite normal. The only thing is that you don't need a comma after the last variable.

    Is it failing during testing in Sequencer?
    Or is it failing in production testing?
    I have written scripts that test fine but fail in production. I seem to remember reading somewhere that "Blue Box" might be the culprit, but I need to put in a bug report before I can confirm that problem.

    Make a subroutine in global scripts. This will greatly help with debugging in this case. Try something like:

    Sub AssignFileToShader(Scene as xpScene, oName as String, theFile as String)
  Dim obj as xpBaseObject
  Dim shad as xpBaseShader
  Dim mat as xpMaterial
  Scene.GetObjectByName("SCORE BACKGROUND", obj)
  obj.GetMaterial(0, mat)
  mat.GetShader(0, shad)
  shad.SetFileName(theFile)
End Sub

    Not tested, but it looks right.
    Make a new string in your script:

    Dim corePath as String
corePath = filepath.Text & "PHX\" & home.text & "\"

    Now you can make all those calls like this:

    AssignFileToShader(self,"AWAY PRIMARY",corePath & "PRIMARY.PNG")

    Now there is less chances of failing due to typos. Take it one step further and do:

    Try
  AssignFileToShader(self,"AWAY PRIMARY",corePath & "PRIMARY.PNG")
Catch
End Try

    Now it is more likely that the script will execute and you just go back and check your spelling on the materials that did not get assigned.
    This may help you track down the problem yourself.

    Thank you I will give this a try. It's only changing the primary and secondary color chips. It will not change any of the other object materials. The blue button is on in the Layout. It's like no matter what I add or update in the script it will not change anything other than the color materials and not the logos or extra artwork.

    Another thought. If after a successful implementation you've simplified everything and you've checked your spelling and the problem still persists - check your materials. See if there are multiple textures or layers to a material. If so, the subroutine needs to have a loop added to go through the layers to set the filepath.

    I just tried to start completely over. I can get everything to work but after I get to a certain point it just stops working. I had everything working but just decided to keep adding without testing each new thing. Now when I trace my steps backwards nothing will work. I've never had this many problems scripting before.

    Are you getting compile errors?

    If not, where is this not working?

    Sequencer? Are you using iNews and a MOS plugin?

    What configuration are you using and where is it failing?

    When I compile the scripts I get no errors and everything is green. But when I drag that scene into the sequence and try changing the different elements, nothing happens. That is the part that is confusing me. I can occasionally get the visitors team to change but when I add elements to the script for the home team side where the visitor side I seem to break it, I'm just so confused how when the scripts compile it's green and says complete with no errors. I also have the blue button turned on so I can see continuous animations and things like that. If it would be helpful, I would be more than happy to upload the project file if you would like to look at it. I’m not using any news room solutions. I have to text Fields that I changed and that’s how I change the package in the team based on their try code. I do that from the sequence side.

    My apologies if you know the stuff below but its how I usually find my problems in my scripts. 

    Compiled doesn't necessarily mean your script is correct, it just means there aren't any syntax errors. 



    You should try putting some debug messages in your scripts to see where the script is getting to and breaking. 

    You can put messages like this; 
    engine.DebugMessage("Hello World", 0)
    throughout the script to see where the script is getting stuck.

    I would put one at the beginning and end to start with and then move that end point up through the script until you see it post in the debug log. 

    Once messages are written to the debugger you'll see it appear in the sys tray.

    I might be misunderstanding you, but shouldn't this script go in either one or both of those text object's onText events then?

    Like Red said, add some debugging scripts.

    Also, where is it failing? Is it in Designer's Sequencer?

    You haven't added any debug messages that I can see to check where it is getting to?

    I checked your original script file in an IDE and there are no syntax errors that I can see. I'm assuming there are no other errors or you would have told us about them, so I'd lean toward the problem residing somewhere else. Make sure that your file paths are correct. Is it possible that these png files are not what you are expecting them to be? And can you upload the scene/project or show us a picture of your object manager? And sometimes I've had issues where I'd change something in my scene and wouldn't see the change until I replaced the take item in my sequencer, so I always try that too when I'm stumped.

    Hi Roger, 
    I've uploaded the xpp file. I'm currently running the debugger trying to see if something is not working.

    Could what you want to do be solved with linking to a Spreadsheet/DataLinq?
    Each column with a path to the images assigned to an object?

    I'm extremely sorry for the delayed response but thank you for all the help on this issue. I've spent some time reviewing the script you shared and when I went back and reviewed everything i see what I did wrong. Thank you again to everyone for helping me.
