New Q--If I can just do SOMETHING w/out an error message...

Real quick, I have yet to find a Python beginers forum.
random between(10,15)
It always returns an error. This is part of a tutorial I’m working on and it is driving me nuts. I figure the tut was written in an ealier form, but I have no idea of the command that replaces this. Any thoughts??? If I can just do one thing without getting an error message, I will be happy. Actually, no, I won’t be happy until I learn to program something fully. Anywho, I use Python 2.2.3 so if anyone knows of a beginners forum, or how to solve this seemingly simple dilemma, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks. Still have the problem, but now I have more things with which to diverte myself :smiley: . Wish me luck…half the stuff(half? I mean ALL) the stuff in the first link was pretty Greek to me, but I guess I’ll get it.

Greek?? Shoot I must have given you the wrong link :wink:

Lmao. Thats just as likely. I’ve seen so many people ask questions on forums about how to code this or that, and you keep giving them links to solutions and they don’t even bother reading them. They visit the site and think, “It’ll be easier if I keep asking.” That really really annoys me.

Well, you can be sure I always visit links that are recommended to me, and I solved my problem 8) . I’m so happy. I use to program in Basic, but could never get past a certain point. Now, I’m already at that point in Python, and I’m still going. The biggest thing is that I still don’t understand how the hell I’m going to transfer this knowledge for use with Blender. I guess I’ll figure it out. Thanks again for the links and advice, guys.

Read this link. It’s Blender-specific.
And if I remember correctly he explains that the different Blender versions are partial to different versions of Python, as are the scripts. I see your’e running Py 2.2.3 which may be your primary problem.

WOW. That is exactly what I needed. Yeah, I know I’ll either have to wait for Blender 2.28 to come out, or d/l an older version of Python. I only use Blender 2.25 for its physics engine (“You only love me for my ability to interact with my environment!”) but either way, I really don’t want to have to take a step down. We’ll see… Thanks again for the link–I bookmarked it for future reference.
