Anyone want a copy of my experiment so far? The reason I ask is that I’m not sure of Script posting etiquette. But I wrote a script that loads and saves lines of custom property values to a list from a .txt file and then applies a unique set of three values to an object. I’m sure someone else could find a more ‘Dynamic’ approach but…I’m new to Python.
So if you assign three Custom props (initialized with Blank values) to an object, keep the object on an invisible layer and call for an “addObject” later, the script will find a random string from the list and assign a unique set of properties to the object.
.txt format must go…
Prop1;Prop2;Prop3
Prop1;Prop2;Prop3…etc
Code Goes…
import bge
import bpy
import random
cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()#need our vars
own = cont.owner
anItem = bpy.context.blend_data.object['Object']#UpDate:changed 'object' to 'blend_data.object['Object']'
print(anItem.values())#printing the values of our custom props (Prop1, Prop2, Prop3))
items = []#empty list
inF = open("Path", "r")#file stream variable
items = inF.readlines()#get all of it. We'll sift through it later
inF.close()#don't need it no more
print(items)#Just checking :)
theItem = random.choice(items)#Gimmie a random string from that list
print(theItem)#Just phobic X)
i = theItem.find(';')#find each separator
j = theItem.rfind(';')
k = len(theItem)
anItem['Prop1'] = theItem[0:i]#cherry pick our strings
anItem['Prop2'] = theItem[i:j+1]
anItem['Prop3'] = theItem[j+1:k]
print(anItem.values())#And that's how a bill becomes a law. 8)
I welcome any modifications that I may be too tired to do right now.
As well, will post any updates.
