Reply To: Vonn Bots Python Script
Hi Drake,
Yes you can enable it as an add-on so you don’t need to activate it manually.
The way you do that is to “install” the python script as an add-on.
You do this the normal way of installing any add-on. (User Prefs > Addons > install )
However, you need to select it in the stand alone python form, not from inside the rig file.
I believe that the script is separated in the downloads already so just select that and after you enable it, it will automatically run when you have the rigs selected (in pose mode)
If you don’t have it as a seperate file, you can chose “save-as” in the text editor and then save it out as a “VonnBots_rig_UI.py” or something (the .py is the important thing).
Hope that makes sense.
Personally I don’t install it as an addon anymore. I just link it in when setting up the file, and make sure that “Register” is enabled in the “Text” menu. If the file has the .py extension on the end it will then load automatically every-time you open that file.
(it’s greyed out here because the text file does not have the .py extension)
This way takes a little longer to set up each file however, but because it is linked to the original text file, if I need to make changes (which happens so often in production) then the UI changes are also propagated to each animation file.
