How do you use/open/import scripts?

Post by nama_rupa »

I have just spent the last hours looking through the forum and help section on how to do this and couldnt find anything. I am sure its there somewhere but I guess I am just missing it. I did find someone in the forum mention a CTRL + F5 to use a script but it seems to just render my animation and open it in quicktime. Thanks

Please also recommend scripts you think are useful or needed to assist with ones daily workflow in Moho. Or the opposite, which ones to avoid due to bugs and what not.

Thanks

In general, you just need to place the scripts in their proper place. Which is the "scripts" folder within your Moho installation folder. Depending what tyep they are (menu or tool type scripts) the would go in side the respective subfolder there.

What the <CTRL><F5> combo does is reload all of the scripts. You only need it if you have made a change in a script and want to see the changes without quitting and restarting Moho, or if you have put a new script and again don't want to dump out of the program.

I've never had a problem with the <CTRL><F5>, however just <F5> will do a preview render, so I figure you must be rushing and not still holding down the <CTRL> key when you hit the <F5> or something like that.

ON PC it is CTRL F5...

On the Mac it is COMMAND (apple key) F5
