script detects when a curve is being drawn

[Irakli]

Maybee
pause; command will help you?

thanks Irakli,

but I'm not sure if that could work.. I would like to resume the script, after a new curve is created. not with time..

Thank you for your tip, though

cheers.

Hi hto,

As you've said, script job is one option.
You can use the curve context command (CV or EP) to access the curve tool, and use the event 'ToolChanged' to trigger another procedure. I suppose you'll end up splitting up your proc into two. Just use arguments if you have to pass anything on.


if(`window -exists myWin`)
deleteUI myWin;

window myWin;
columnLayout myCol;
button -c "procOne()" myBut;
showWindow myWin;

proc procOne()
{
print "\n..start of script..\n";
print "\n..draw curve..\n";
$curCtx = `curveCVCtx -degree 3`;
setToolTo $curCtx;
scriptJob -ro 1 -e "ToolChanged" "procTwo()";
}

proc procTwo()
{
print "\n..curve is drawn, continue with script..\n";
print "\n..done..!\n";
}
