Integrate script into addon

Coding Python Support
#1

Hello,
I’m trying to integrate this script into my addon but main is not running, when starting the script with a button operator.

What do I have to change in order to use it inside a addon?

I am not sure how you have setup the other script, but are you trying to run def main() as an operator in fact?

An operator class is like this:

class SimpleOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
    """Tooltip"""
    bl_idname = "object.simple_operator"
    bl_label = "Simple Object Operator"

    @classmethod
    def poll(cls, context):
        return context.active_object is not None

    def execute(self, context):
        main(context)
        return {'FINISHED'}

And then most likely you want a Panel class, and in the UI of the panel class you hook the operator up:
For example:
row.operator("object.simple_operator", icon="MOD_VERTEX_WEIGHT")

Update: owh now I see it I think. So you made an operator class and there you refer to the main function like here above?

Yes
I already copy, pasted a addon together to create randomized animation loops.
I found the particle baking script on stack overflow and it would complement my addon perfectly.
But I have no Idea how to run def main inside of an operator from Line 58 to line 165.
The thing is, when I start the addon inside of blender with run script the bake particles operator works flawless. But when I save it as .py and install it as addon it isn’t working anymore.
I don’t get any error it just doesn’t execute.

Thank you so much.
This works perfectly.
I think i’m slowly understanding a bit python.
Actually i hate scripting, but creating awesome features is worth the trouble.
Definitly gonna continue working on my tool set and adding functions.
Mybe I try to get a progress Label to work.
But first i’m comparing your script with diffchecker.com to understand excactly what you did and why. :slight_smile:
