====Global variables==== | |||
In Softimage a variable can be global inside a script but not between multiple scripts. | |||
So, to pass one value from one script to another one would need either | |||
: a) a command (containing a function with at least one argument), | |||
: b) user data blob, preferably attached to the scene root, | |||
: c) or a Softimage environment item. | |||
Both b and c serve as storage that can be accessed from any script function. | |||
Commands need most writing. User Data Blob need less but annoying checks if they already exist. | |||
Theoretically it should be possible to place all code on one script file but that screws the overview. | |||
The best choice is probably setting a var in Softimage itself though I just learned about it and don't if their are any drawback. So far it looks just fine. | |||
' set value | |||
XSIUtils.Environment.Setitem "MyVar", "true" | |||
' caution: it can't contain boolean values no matter if true and false were set in quotes or not | |||
' get value | |||
logmessage XSIUtils.Environment("MyVar") | |||
