Why not a callback with a Python script?

Why not indeed ! Python's definitely the most logical way to do it... but then logical isn't one of my strong points (and neither is scripting - if you've ever looked at my Python coding you'll know what I mean ! ;o) )

However, the main "why not Python" reason is mentioned in the final paragraph of the second post - "Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be appreciated. Except for "do it in Python" - that's the coward's way out ! :)"

I'll probably end up having to do it in Python anyway, but I just like the challenge of doing maths with valueOps (repeat previous observation - "logical isn't one of my strong points")

One problem that I recall with callbacks is that there's no way provided by the PoserPython API to keep track of them - no 'listActiveCallbacks()' function

...Sorry for the image, but the new editor does not preserve spaces on the left side (indentation).

Spaces, backslashes, etc - I'm convinced that the main goal of Renderosity's forum s***ware is to irritate people who try to use it ! :)

(edit: you said "new editor" - has it changed again ? I just noticed when I posted this reply that it the WYSINWYG is still NWYG, but different from what it was before)

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
