# AddDeltaAddDelta-01.py
# Use of this script is at your own risk.
# I wrote it for my own use and to the best of my knowledge it works as intended.
# As usual it's been developed using sticky tape, chewing gum and string, plus a few bashes from a hammer.
# The purpose of this script is to allow me to add multiple deltaAddDelta thingies to stuff within Poser.
# I'm uploading it because other people might find it useful. Or need a good laugh.
# Code is identical to my ongoing SimpleERC0-04.py as at 31 Jan 2019 (that was an ongoing version but I got bored - it worked, that was enough for me)
# It's a very cut-down version of Freazypose with most of the unwanted stuff chucked out and extra stuff added for selecting master/slave actors/parameters.
# I wrote it for use with props, not bodypart actors. Can't remember whether it checks and can't be bothered to look.
# This is basically what it does (note that it prints the master/slave actors/parameters to a debug window):
# - 1) Use the current actor as the master (also allows to select a different actor)
# - 2) Select the master parameter from a list of all parameters on the Master Actor (also allows to create a new parameter)
# - 3) Select a slave actor from an expurgated list of actors
# - 4) Select a slave parameter from a list of all parameters on the Slave Actor.Select the deltaAddDelta value.
# - Repeat 3 and 4 as required
# - Add all the deltaAddDelta stuff to the open scene.
# Note that it doesn't save anything, it just adds the master/slave stuff to the open scene in Poser.
# Test the stuff in the scene to make surethat the slaving works as it should, then save whatever you need to, preferably with a new name.
