ERROR: 12290 when using fumeFx01.setPath() - Capitanred - 04-08-2008
$FumeFX01.SetPath ("D:/fumeTemp/test/" + ($FumeFx01.name) + ".fxd") "_.fxd"
am I doing it right? it does show the path in the ffx UI, but when i want to open it, it shows this error message.
Re: ERROR: 12290 when using fumeFx01.setPath() - Capitanred - 04-08-2008
and why is it allways telling me that the folder is read only, altough it is not?

Not sure, I don't know if your syntax is correct though:
Quote:SetPath outputFile
This sets output file name. You must enter the path and base file name; the extension is not necessary.
$FumeFX01.SetPath "F:/temp/FumeFX/aa
$FumeFX01.SetPath "F:/temp/FumeFX/aa.fxd"

$FumeFX01.SetPath ("C:/Temp/" ) "aa.fxd" == Works..
1 think that might be a bug is that when you assign the output Path By script like this , you cannot Click and Borwse your path through the UI Browser Anymore..
Re: ERROR: 12290 when using fumeFx01.setPath() - Capitanred - 04-08-2008
well yea, I have read the manual too, but if i write this:
$FumeFx01.setPath "D:/fumeTemp/test/aa"
i get the message:
-- Argument count error: SetPath wanted 2, got 1
no matter if there are back or forward slashes.
if i write:
$FumeFx01.setPath "D:/fumeTemp/test/aa" "bb"
in the UI of FumeFx01 is now the path "D:/fumeTemp/test/aa",but when i click on the button, i get the error message.
if i write the same with backslashes, i get the message, that the folder is read only :?

all right...if it is a bug, then I'll try to work on with it.
maybe it will not be a problem...i hope

LOL
sorry, I should have known better (that you already read the manual)I too am curious how this is this works I was writing a Simulate and Render script and I had to omit all of the path setups, I couldn't get it to work either, I didn't invest much time in trying to find a solution.
I The only reason I mentioned it was your original function seemed to have a redundancy with the last "_.fxd" since you were already setting the extension from with the path in parenthesis.
Does what Rif mentioned not function from within your script?
Re: ERROR: 12290 when using fumeFx01.setPath() - Capitanred - 04-08-2008
hmm it's not a problem for me that it is giving me an error message if i can still set the path by script.
but i'm tryin to do it dynamically in a tool by saving it in the same folder as the scene is saved.
but this gives me backslashes, and with backslashes i get this annoying message that the folder is read only
don't know how to get dir of that...
Re: ERROR: 12290 when using fumeFx01.setPath() - jrand - 04-09-2008
Do the folders already exist? Or are you trying to create them with the script? You may have to create the folders prior to setting the path.
Re: ERROR: 12290 when using fumeFx01.setPath() - Capitanred - 04-09-2008
:lol: ahh...i see. Indeed i'm trying to ceate them with the script.
do you know how to create folders by script? :oops:
Edit________
I got it
"makeDir" will do it
