lscript position and rotation not working

[marklynn]

I'm using Lightwave 10.1

In layout, I created a simple lscript to add a light

AddSpotLight ("Blue_Light");
Position(-2,-2,-2);
Rotation(45,45,0);

The light is added, but the position and rotation values stay at 0.

I ran a 3rd party script to generate a 4 point light setup, and it worked fine except for position and rotation, which remained at 0.

Any suggestions??

Thanks

Does Autokey need to be on?

Thanks much... that did the trick. I usually leave it off, so apparently all I have to do is find a way to enable it when the script runs, then turn it off.

Cool. If you can check to see if Autokey is on, you might want to put a condition check in. Some of the things in lscript are just toggles so you would just be toggling the existing state instead of actually turning it on or off.
