Code:

import App import MissionLib import Bridge.BridgeUtils import Lib.Ambiguity import QuickBattle.QuickBattle import Custom.QuickBattleGame.QuickBattle pBridge = App.g_kSetManager.GetSet('bridge') g_pKiska = App.CharacterClass_GetObject(pBridge, 'Helm') pKiskaMenu = Bridge.BridgeUtils.GetBridgeMenu('Helm') pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame() pEpisode = pGame.GetCurrentEpisode() SETIMPULSE = App.Mission_GetNextEventType() def SetPlayerAction(pAction, pShip):    return Custom.QuickBattleGame.QuickBattle.SetPlayerAction(pAction, pShip) if (pKiskaMenu != None):    event = Lib.Ambiguity.getEvent("ET_SET_IMPULSE")    g_pKiska.AddPythonFuncHandlerForInstance(event, __name__ + ".SetImpulse")         pButton = QuickBattle.QuickBattle.CreateBridgeMenuButton(App.TGString('SetImpulse'), event, 0, g_pKiska)    pKiskaMenu.PrependChild(pButton)

First, could a mod split this from the topic?


Second, there is one problem to your code. You created a button, not a menu.

A menu can be created this way:

Code:

pMenu = App.STMenu_Create(App.TGString("Menu Name"))

And then, for each button you could do something like this:

Code:

pEvent = App.TGFloatEvent() pEvent.SetFloat(0.0) pEvent.SetEventType(SETIMPULSE) pEvent.SetDestination(g_pKiska) pButton = App.STButton_CreateW(App.TGString("Name"), pEvent) pEvent.SetSource(pButton) #And to add it to the menu: pMenu.AddChild(pButton)

Um... Questions like these are the kind of thing this thread actually exists for - small, specific requests for Python/BC API help on topics that are likely to be of interest to quite a lot of people...

So I don't intend to split it. I won't stop you from making your own new thread to continue discussing this in, but I'm not going to remove something on topic and potentially useful from a stickied thread.

Alright...I have a model that I've been hardpointing. I finished the hardpoint and saved it. Loaded up BC and got this error when I tried to use the ship.

(Click It)

I can't figure out what the problem is.

Can you post your ship file here (use the code tags please).

But there is something wrong on the line above:
kShipStats = {

Could you have forgotten the : sign?

I don't think the : is missing....afterall, I copied a ship script I knew worked, and filled in the info for the ship I was hardpointing. Here's the script:

Code:

import App import Multiplayer.SpeciesToShip def GetShipStats():    kShipStats = {       "FilenameHigh": "data/Models/Ships/Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt.nif",       "FilenameMed": "data/Models/Ships/Thunderbolt/ThunderboltMed.nif",       "FilenameLow": "data/Models/Ships/Thunderbolt/ThunderboltLow.nif",       "Name": "Thunderbolt",       "HardpointFile": "Thunderbolt",       "Species": Multiplayer.SpeciesToShip.SOVEREIGN        }    return kShipStats def LoadModel(bPreLoad = 0):    pStats = GetShipStats()    # Create the LOD info    if (not App.g_kLODModelManager.Contains(pStats["Name"])):       # Params are: File Name, PickLeafSize, SwitchOut Distance,       # Surface Damage Res, Internal Damage Res, Burn Value, Hole Value,       # Search String for Glow, Search string for Specular, Suffix for specular       pLODModel = App.g_kLODModelManager.Create(pStats["Name"])       pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameHigh"], 10, 200.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_spec")       pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameMed"],  10, 400.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_spec")       pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameLow"],  10, 800.0, 15.0, 30.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, None) #      kDebugObj = App.CPyDebug()       if (bPreLoad == 0):          pLODModel.Load() #         kDebugObj.Print("Loading " + pStats["Name"] + "\n")       else:          pLODModel.LoadIncremental() #         kDebugObj.Print("Queueing " + pStats["Name"] + " for pre-loading\n") def PreLoadModel():    LoadModel(1)

Oh...and another problem I've had....With only this script, when I try to open it in MPE...it opens the script, but nothing shows up in Scene Root. Weird.

Are you trying to load "this" particular script in MPE?
You do know that you need to open the hardpoint.

You are right, I can't find anything wrong with the script...

No...I'm not trying to load that script into MPE. I was loading the Hardpoint.

@MLeoDaalder: Any other thoughts about the script? Would you like me to show or upload the hardpoint too? This is driving me up the bulkhead!!

Does it matter what PHYTON version you use or is there a specified version?

BC has version 1.5.2 integrated into it, but for the purposes of downloading a Python editor, the version doesn't really matter much, no. The core concepts of the language haven't changed that much.

I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time as I have created my very own ship using CG's Sovereign and well... it may sound kinda stupid, but, how do you create a description of a certain ship in the "Player and Region" menu when you select your ship...I've tried and it only gives the description in the "ships" menu, and ??? in the "P and R" menu...

Similar as how you add SubMenu's but then replace SubMenu for desc

Use \n for new line.

Though I believe Dasher fixed something for this in FTech... But I'm not sure ATM.

But, I'm not giving up on it yet LOL I'll figure it out

Ok, Figured it out, had nothing to do with Python scripting whatsoever LOL.

Thanks for your help.
