Hi Pilou, you can "comment out" script code by either putting // characters at the start of each line, like

// code here
// code....
// etc....

or also you can do a whole block by putting /* */ around the whole block like:

/*
a bunch of code here
etc...
etc...
*/

Your not just a table guy with helpers... You have the artist thing. I love your side stuff. :o

thx!
for the /*a bunch of code here etc...*/
That will be in another life :)

Thanks Burr,

It was just something that popped up in my head when Michael released the script, it didn't take long and imagine what it would take to do that without the Randomize script.

Cheers

It's a lot of fun.
I was able to easily create.

I like this one, Moritaka .... Well done

Martin

Thanks for the update Michael!

Marc

What a great script.
Thank you very much for sharing it.

Best regards.

Lerp sounded so strangely familiar, I had to look it up:

(The pear psylla insect is such a pest.)

From Wikipedia:
"Lerp may refer to
Lerp (biology), a structure produced by larvae of psyllid insects as a protective cover.
Lerp (computing), a quasi-acronym for linear interpolation in computing and mathematics."

I can't seem to get this script to work. Any thoughts installation etc..?
Message reads: Can't find variable:Randomize

I can't seemed to get the Randomize script to work. Message reads: Can't find variable: Randomize like 1 1:>>Randomize

Any thoughts what I maybe doing wrong here. I believe I installed it correctly.

If it's this one ?
No problem for me! (works also fine with curves)
Maybe you must post your 3dm file!

Hi Mike, re:

Please double check the instructions here at FAQ #1.

That error message means that MoI tried to run the contents of your shortcut key command text as direct immediate script code. It will do that if it could not find a file of that name in the commands folder, or if you have set up the shortcut key command with a "script:" prefix on it (like if you shortcut key command is set up as script:Randomize instead of just plain Randomize).

If you have just plain Randomize as the shortcut key command then it means that the Randomize.js and Randomize.htm files are not getting copied into the commands folder, so double check that and restart MoI after you have copied them.

I have installed these before and I still can't get this one to work. Most of the installs I have also show up in the Ext. scripts list buy not this one. I have had at times some do this were I can't get them to show up. There isn't platform issues is there?

Hi Mike, nope no known platform issues, I just gave it a check over here on my own Mac to make sure.

Can you please show me a screenshot of where you have placed your Randomize.htm and Randomize.js files, and also a screenshot of what you have set up for your keyboard shortcut?

One thing to note is that with Safari, when you download the Randomize.zip file, it automatically unzips it into a folder named Randomize with the 2 files contained within that folder. You've got to go into that folder and move those 2 files over, if you move just the entire folder so the whole Randomize folder is a nested folder underneath MoI's commands folder that won't work.

- Michael

Here is the path and short cuts. A lot of commands are floating and not nested. Should it show up in my Ext. scripts list?

Hi Mike, so it looks like you've got 2 problems there, first your keyboard shortcut says: "script: Randomize" - you need it to say just plain "Randomize" instead, without any script: prefix.

If you put script: in front of the text for the Command part of a shortcut key, it will run the text immediately following it as direct JavaScript code, which will result in the syntax error that you noticed.

To run an installed command file, you have to put just the name of the file (without .js extension) in the shortcut key, that will make it look up the file in the commands folder.

Then the second problem is that the Randomize.js and Randomize.htm files are not directly inside the first level of the commands folder, you've got them nested down an additional level in a Randomize folder. Go into that Randomize folder and move the files up one level in the folder hierarchy so they are directly inside the commands folder instead of nested down in a sub-folder.

Once you tune up those 2 things you should then be set up. If you need a reminder for future reference, FAQ #1 has instructions for this and I've added a little bit to that to help clarify.

Hopefully you'll be able to get all set up now!

- Michael

Thank you very much for your assistance. See the attached images for where I am at. I apologize for all my confusion. I still get that error message.
Would it make sense to delete some sort of preference file? Or do you see something I am still doing wrong here.

Did you restart Moi?
