Getting started in Lightwave Lscripts

[Apheresis]

I am trying to get started writing Lscripts for Lightwave Layout (not modeler). I have found several tutorials on the web, but have not been able to get any scripts to execute.

I'm trying to write a basic script which will change the rotation of an object based on the pos(Time) of another object. Could someone give me a start on this?

Thanks

@script motion
target;
create
{
setdesc("test");
}



process: ma, frame, time
{
if(target)
{
a = target.getPosition(time);
ma.set(ROTATION,a);
}

}



options
{
reqbegin("Select an object.");
c1 = ctlallitems("Object",nil);
return if(!reqpost());
target = getvalue(c1);
reqend();
}

Back to the basics - when I enter this code in a text editor and save it as test.ls, then load it into Lightwave using LScript Tools->LW_LScript, I get "File test.ls line 1 Invalid parameter to 'script' pragma" What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

this script was meant to be run as a motion modifier. look for LW LScript in the motion options of the item.

Still getting "Invalid parameter to 'script' pragma"...

i'm suspecting that there is an extra whitespace character after the word "motion".

make sure it's "@script motion"

other than that, i'm not sure. what version of lscript are you using, btw?
