Hello,

we bought an Enliven Pro Licence and we are currently testing data exchange between Javascript (HTML) and VETScript (mtx). We have not yet found a possibility to pass parameters from Javascript to VETScript. Reviewing the documentation didn’t help.

We want to apply interactive changes to a model (size, textures) using HTML-controls. Until now, we could accomplish this only by creating VETScript dynamically from Javascript. This is somewhat cumbersome.

Please find attached a simple example of our efforts.

Could you give us a hint how to pass user input e.g. input text/html to VETScript?

Thank you in advance.

There is a VETScript keyword you can pass to the Execute method of the plugin:

vmp.Execute(‘VETScript( script )’);

Basically, whatever you pass as the script gets evaluated in VETScript, like eval in javascript, so it’s all a string, but you can do stuff like this:

vmp.Execute(‘VETScript(myFunc(‘+arg+’);’);


or perhaps more accurately:

vmp.Execute(‘VETScript(myFunc(“‘+arg+’”);’);

Thank you for your quick response!

Could you please provide an example, how to define 'myFunc' and parameter handling in mtx?
Below the code we tried for dynamically creating VETScript from Javascript.

Thank you in advance.

--- HTML

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" src="MTS3Interface.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
<!--

var vmp; //This global variable is for the VET content

function postevent(name, param)
{
vmp.PostEvent(name,param);
}

function Resize()
{
var value = document.getElementById('size').value;

if (value !='')
{
vmp.ExecuteVETScript("MTSInstances.Cube.Scale.x="+value+";");
}
}

//-->

</script>
</head>

<body>
<script language="javascript">
vmp = new MTSPlugin("cube.mtx", 400, 400, "", "simple",'');
</script>

<form>
<input type="text" name="size" />
<input type="button" name="CubeResize" value="Resize" onclick="javascript:Resize();"/>
<!--input type="button" name="CubeResize" value="Resize" onclick="javascriptRazzostevent('CubeResize',0);"/-->

Hi !!

Do you want your VET script inside the HTML code and not inside the MTX? If yes, your HTML script looks good. Just that you need no VET script written inside the MTX file. You just need the VETScriptListner.

I modified your code and the modified files are attached.

Hope this helps.


Cheers,

Anup
