I cannot figure out why my script is not duplicating a texture effect properly.

First I applied a Custom texture to an image, by setting Properties>>Effects (Texture) for the main image object. ( both "Main" pic and texture .bmp are shown on Pub page.)

Then I created script to achieve same thing. But do not get the same "look". ( using Invert Texture and Metal gloss )

I used the Script example from Help File for SetTexture. Got that working after some tweaking of path.

Attached .zip has both images... hence the filesize.

Hi Lar,

That is because you have used a custom file to create the texture effect. I don't think 'custom file' or the sub-menu texture styles (Bamboo Weave, Cross Step, etc, etc) are supported in OpusScript? The first SetTexture() parameter requires a keyword. (or a variable containing that keyword). Chris, Paul or DW may know some clever workaround if it is at all possible to read the custom file.

Secondly, in your sample pub, you say that the image disappears. That is because your pathname was incorrect and also your object name (in the organiser) is not script compatible. ......you have 'Image 3' -- when it should be 'Image_3'.

In your script,, try this code on your button...

//-------

ImageUsed = SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "\\SetTexture1 Resource\\picture 111sz.jpg"
Image_3.SetTexture("Metal",true,false,ImageUsed,false)

//-------


<ImageUsed> is the pathname of the image file, not the filename of your custom file you're using for the actual effect.

Failing a script solution to achieve your effect, you could have two images. (one with your textured look, initially hidden and stacked on top of the other image).

Hope this helps!
