got his old script and wondering how to make it work in 2.7



import bpy   
from bpy.types import Operator   
from bpy.props import FloatVectorProperty, FloatProperty   
  
class Move3Operator(bpy.types.Operator): 
    
    """Move3 Operator"""  
    bl_idname = "object.move3_operator"  
    bl_label = "Move3 Operator"  
    bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO'}   
  
    direction = FloatVectorProperty(   
        name="direction",   
        default=(1.0, 1.0, 1.0),   
        subtype='XYZ',   
        description="move direction"  
        )   
    
    distance = FloatProperty(   
        name="distance",   
        default=1.0,   
        subtype='DISTANCE',   
        unit='LENGTH',   
        description="distance"  
            )   
  
    def execute(self, context):   
        dir = self.direction.normalized()   
        context.active_object.location += self.distance * dir   
        return {'FINISHED'}  
    
    @classmethod  
    def poll(cls, context):   
        ob = context.active_object   
        return ob is not None and ob.mode == 'OBJECT'  
    
def add_object_button(self, context):   
    self.layout.operator(   
        Move3Operator.bl_idname,   
        text=Move3Operator.__doc__,   
        icon='PLUGIN')   
    
def register():   
    bpy.utils.register_class(Move3Operator)   
    bpy.types.VIEW3D_MT_object.append(add_object_button)   
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    
    register()

thanks for any help

I just ran it in 2.71 and it works just fine. What part seems to be broken on your system?

unregister() is missing

but why doesn’t this script work for 2.7x?

I replace the bottom part with

def register():
bpy.utils.register_class(Move3Operator)
bpy.types.VIEW3D_MT_object.append(add_object_button)

def unregister():
bpy.utils.register_class(Move3Operator)
bpy.types.VIEW3D_MT_object.append(add_object_button)

if name == “main”:
register()

and now seems to work fine

thanks
