Hi

I am trying out a script to set all an avatars materials opacity settings to zero but I have come up against this error <class 'TypeError'>, File: C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\RLPy.py, Line: 8452
When I have seen this in the past it is pointing to not being implemented yet in the API but RL has some test code that sets the opacity so whats going on anyone have an idea?
Here is the code I am trying with Jade as a test avatar.

import RLPy

# Get Avatar mesh and Material
avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
avatar = avatar_list[0]
material_component = avatar.GetMaterialComponent()
mesh_list = avatar.GetMeshNames()
mesh_name = mesh_list[0]
material_list = material_component.GetMaterialNames(mesh_name)

for mesh in mesh_list:
    print("****************")
    print("Mesh List: {} ".format(mesh))
    material_list = material_component.GetMaterialNames(mesh)    
    for mat in material_list:
        print("Mat: {} ".format(mat))
        # Set Materials Invisable here NOT WORKING ??????
        material_component.AddOpacityKey(0, mesh, mat, 0)       
        print("Opacity Value: {} ".format(material_component.GetOpacity(mesh, mat))) # This works
    
print("Finished...")

This will print out the opacity setting for the correct material if you change it manually.

Chris,

I change opacity on materials all the time, so it's most likely something wrong in your code somewhere.  I'm about ready to eat, but if Any Key doesn't beat me to it I'll post something that does work after that.

Hi Mike

Yup just found it forgot to add a key here is the revised code that now works.

import RLPy

# Get Avatar mesh and Material
avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
avatar = avatar_list[0]
material_component = avatar.GetMaterialComponent()
mesh_list = avatar.GetMeshNames()
mesh_name = mesh_list[0]
material_list = material_component.GetMaterialNames(mesh_name)

time_line = RLPy.RGlobal_GetTime()
R_Key = RLPy.RKey()
R_Key.SetTime(RLPy.RTime(time_line))
   
for mesh in mesh_list:
    print("****************")
    print("Mesh List: {} ".format(mesh))
    material_list = material_component.GetMaterialNames(mesh)    
    for mat in material_list:
        print("Mat: {} ".format(mat))
        # Set Materials Invisable here
        material_component.AddOpacityKey(R_Key, mesh, mat, 0)       

       
print("Finished...")

Ah, ya beat me to it (but for others, here's code that works for any selected object, including avatars):

Thanks Mike

Ya went to make a cup of tea and it just poped into my head

Thanks for the update code and enjoy your meal.

Chris.
