Hey! It's entertainment!

My version starts fine... but I do not like that this DEVELOPMENT version has completely overwritten the stable 7.41.
That's not what i wanted when I downloaded and run it.
RL should have create a standalone .exe, which does not install anything, like was done in the earlier stages of IC7 Beta testing.

Test of experimental Python API (RLPy.RILight example)

I just tested the example script provided in the following page:
http://manual.reallusion.com/iClone/script/python/class_r_l_py_1_1_r_i_light.html

--- the script

My initial project:


the result obtained after execution of the script:



we notice that the spotlight has been moved to the coordinate provided by the script, but the GIZMO has remained at the old coordinates of the spotlight, and that the Transform  coordinate X, Y, Z of the iClone MODIFY panel are not updated.

Just for fun did you try pressing play to see if things would get updated? (and/or hiding/unhiding the spotlight)

For some reason the UI doesn't update properly when running Python -- I don't know if that will ever be fixed, although the key guy here says you can put a hide/unhide object in your code so it gets fixed.  Kind of.  But it IS a bit disconcerting.

I had the same issue, reported in the Forum some time ago: the XYZ coordinates were not updated in real time, but rather only after I pressed PLAY.
RL mentioned that this is to guarantee a certain level of performance, which might sounds ok for certain plug-ins, which algorithmically create a fixed situation, i.e., not controllable in real-time, but it is surely not ok if we want to try to create real-time controllers.
Just a simple example/challenge for who wants to take it: moving a prop in real-time with the mouse and creating the prop keys accordingly (kind of old iClone "Director Mode" or also the Physics Toolbox, regrettably dismissed by RL).
Creating teh jkeys using a system timer is surely possible but... how to visualize the result in real-time if the GUI updates only after we press PLAY ?

Cheers

Could you send me the dump file? I could check it when I back from lunar new year

Okay, we will think about how to give you the full installer or a zip file rather than replace current one  before that, I suggest you to backup the official version (copy whole iClone folder to other place) then update to the development one, so you should get both version to run in your computer  

Some UI update will have the performance issue so we disable that, and we will give you a function to force UI update in further patch, however the data already set down no matter the UI show up or not.
