Getting Started with Scripting


Excercise 1 - Relationship between an object and its viewer

a) Play with the star via its halo. Drag it around, rotate it, resize it, change other things via its red-dot halo menu, and watch the changes in the viewer. (You may need to click to another "bank" of parts to find the group of information you're interested in; use the little left and right arrows)

b) Play with the star via its viewer - set its heading, its scale factor, its border width, its color, etc., and notice the effects on the star itself. Anything you can manipulate in the viewer can also be manipulated via scripts, and the viewer gives you access to scripting, as will be seen below.
