I had been able to get this far
function MyProperty12_Set_Camera_OnClicked( this_model )
{
Application.LogMessage("MyProperty12_Set_Camera_OnClicked
called");
var page = PPG.Name;
var param = PPG.Camera_Name;
Application.LogMessage("value is "+ page);
Application.LogMessage("value is "+ param);
}
// INFO : MyProperty12_Set_Camera_OnClicked called
// INFO : value is MyProperty12
// INFO : value is Camera3
Problem is I need to edit an expression on an object other than this param. As
a result I need the path of that object and then add the Camera name to the
expression. I’ve been completely unable to retrieve the Model and object path
which is necessary to make this work.
This is the expression:
SetExpr("GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface.kine.global.sclx", " GlowSphere.
MyProperty12.Size * ctr_dist(GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface, Camera. )", null);
Camera needs to be replaced with param as in, but the GlowSphere (Model) name
may be different and needs to be acquired prior to editing and included in the
edit
SetExpr("GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface.kine.global.sclx", " GlowSphere.
MyProperty12.Size * ctr_dist(GlowSphere.GlowSphereSurface,”+param+” . )", null);
The PPG belongs to the Model but I’ve been unable to extract the Model as a
Parent to the page.
Thanks

Find your parameter:
myParam = PPG.MyParam
Set the expression:
myExpr = "blah / 2 * myCameraName"
myParam.SetExpression(myExpr)

Thanks.
I’d already started building the property page via the wizard and formatted the
expression with the “this_model” reference. I’ve got the button and entry line
set up in the property page but it’s been so long since I’ve done anything like
this I can’t seem to remember how to force the expression rewrite through the
property page’s code.
Ideas?

I would go with Eric's approach. Surely have done this before. If I find that
script I will post a snippet.

You'll probably have to script this. Type in the name of the camera in the text
area, have a button next to it to run the script to do a find and replace in
the expression.

Hello,
I have an expression. Part of that expression points to a camera.
I’d like to have that reference point to a Custom Pset parameter where I can
provide the name of the Camera in the parameter.
I tried this with the Camera name as Text, but it doesn’t work. Apparently it
can’t resolve the object name that way.
There will be multiple expressions, each pointing to the same Camera, I wanted
to make this easy to edit the Camera name and have it propagate to all the
expressions.
How would I do this?
