Change Text via Expression?

[AnIm]

you cannot set xpression directly on the text, since it is not an animatable parameter
but you can set scripted operator

here is an example (JScript)


NewScene(null, null);
text = CreatePrim("Text", "NurbsCurve", null, null);
code = txt_Update.toString();
scop = AddScriptedOp("text.text", code, "text.text", "txt", "JScript", 0);
scop.alwaysevaluate = true
PlayForwardsFromStart();
function txt_Update(In_UpdateContext, Out , In)
{
Out.value.text.value = In_UpdateContext.CurrentFrame
}

Thanks for the tip AnIm. That was great help. Just that I don't know much about XSI scripting. I'll use your script as it is, with the modifications. But now I am making a point to learn more about it..:)

If you're using it to display information about your scene, this tool may be of use to you.
