View Full Version : Keyframing controller problem

I have a material which has a composite texture map. The first slot of the composite texture map is an output map. I need to use scripting to add a keyframe for the Output_Value of this output map.

I can access the value through scripting to change it:

comptex = getSubTexmap $Torus01.material 1 --gets the texmap from slot 1 (ambient color)
outputmap = getSubTexmap comptex 1
outputmap.output.Output_Amount

outputmap.output.Output_Amount.controller returns undefined!

However, I can keyframe this value without problems manually using auto key...so it must have a controller!

Hi Stuh,

It doesn't have a controller, because you haven't given it one! and I noticed another error in your code also


comptex = getSubTexmap $.material 2
outputmap = getSubTexmap comptex 1
outputmap.output.Output_Amount
outputmap.output.Output_Amount.controller = (bezier_float())
addnewkey outputmap.output.Output_Amount.controller 0

Ah, I didn't realize you had to assign controllers...that's nice.

What was the other bug? The only thing you changed was getting diffuse color instead of ambient.

You have added a parameter of 0 at the end of your key function...I think that's a bug :P

You're right, it's not an error. I suppose I assumed that your map was in the diffuse map slot.
