Title: script to lunch vantage
Post by: kino_unico on 2024-11-20, 21:20:08

Is there any script sequence to be able to create a button that runs the Vantage Live Link launcher?

You can try running this script.

Code: [Select]

macroScript StartVantageLink
category:"Corona 12 Update 1 Vantage Live Link"
buttonText:"Start VLink"
toolTip:"Start Corona Vantage Live Link"
(
    on execute do (
        Corona.CoronaFp.vantageLiveLink()
        messageBox "Vantage Live Link Started" title:"Corona Vantage"
    )
)

macroScript StopVantageLink
category:"Corona 12 Update 1 Vantage Live Link"
buttonText:"Stop VLink"
toolTip:"Stop Corona Vantage Live Link"
(
    on execute do (
        Corona.CoronaFp.vantageLiveLink()
        messageBox "Vantage Live Link Stopped" title:"Corona Vantage"
    )
)

fn printMessages = (
    print "Corona Vantage macroscripts created successfully!"
    print "To add buttons to interface:"
    print "1. Right-click on any toolbar/ribbon"
    print "2. Choose 'Customize'"
    print "3. In Category dropdown, select 'Corona 12 Update 1 Vantage Live Link'"
    print "4. Drag StartVantageLink and StopVantageLink to desired toolbar location"
)

printMessages()
Here's how to use it:

1. Run the above script in MAXScript editor (press F11)
2. Paste the script and click the Execute button (or press Ctrl+E)

Now to add the buttons to your interface:

1. Right-click on any toolbar in 3ds Max
2. Click "Customize"
3. In the dropdown menu labeled "Categories", scroll down and select "Corona 12 Update 1 Vantage Live Link"
4. You'll see two new buttons: "Start Corona Vantage Live Link" and "Stop Corona Vantage Live Link"
Just drag these buttons onto any toolbar you want

I hope this helps.

I have logged this as an idea, hope we can get a proper Vantage toolbar or make the Original works in both engines

 It would be ideal for the same bar to work for both engines.
