Subject: Re: changing colors through automation Sender: zeno@frontiernet.net 27.06.01 16:13 This works great.. <script language="VBScript"> Sub changeColorVBScript () CortonaX.Engine.Nodes ("hotScrew3").Fields ("diffuseColor")=Array(0.5,0,0) End Sub </script> It just seems very easy to change the SFColor values this way. I also tried this: function changeColorJS(){ c = CortonaX.Engine.Nodes ("hotScrew3").Fields ("diffuseColor"); c.Red = 1; c.Value = Array(1, 0, 0); b = CortonaX.Engine.CreateField ("SFColor") b.Red = 1; b.Green = 0.5; b.Blue = 0.1; c.Assign(b); } I couldn't get this to work. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps I'll stick to the VBScript way of changing single value fields. I'm assuming you can change all SF types this way. I would like to know what I did wrong though. Which is prefered? javaScript or VBScript. I've been doing mostly javaScript being that's what I've seen for examples. It's a little tough to relate the SDK documentation to javaScript though. Would it be easier to understand if I were using VBScript? There are many VB examples in the SDK. Can I use this code when writing VBScript? I've done some javascript, some VBA and some VB. I'd have to learn another language if I shift to VBScript, but it doesn't look tough at all.
