Random size object

Mathias Jonathan — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:50:16 GMT

Hello!

I'd like to create a rectangle whose size would be random each time it is placed or a parameter is changed.

I've based the rectangle on a graphisoft object I found here:

It's a rectangle of height A and width B, where A = B.
The object is coded so that point 0,0 is in the middle.

A dynamic hotspot to manage the A value is located at coordinates 0,A/2.

With the RND() command, I manage to create squares of random size, but I have two problems:

The dynamic hotspot is no longer located on the rectangle, even though it should be there by definition.
The A value displayed by archicad does not correspond to the drawn A value.

Could you help me? Thanks in advance

!MASTER SCRIPT aleatoire_scale = RND(0.4) temp_scale = A* (0.8+aleatoire_scale) A=temp_scale B=temp_scale

!2D SCRIPT PARAMETERS A = A PARAMETERS B = B ! initialize start ID for hotspots _unID = 1 ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! non-editable hotspot (bottom edge center of square) ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hotspot2 0, 0, _unID : _unID = _unID + 1 ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! edit size A using halfA as visual input (bottom right hotspot of rectangle) ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! the tracker shows size A as reference, with custom description hotspot2 0, 0, _unID, halfA, 1+128 !BASE (hidden) _unID = _unID + 1 hotspot2 -1, 0, _unID, halfA, 3 !REFERENCE _unID = _unID + 1 hotspot2 halfA, 0, _unID, halfA, 2, A, `Size A for reference` !MOVING _unID = _unID + 1 RECT2 -A/2,-B/2,A/2,B/2

! PARAMETERS SCRIPT PARAMETERS A = A PARAMETERS B = B lock "B" ! connect size "A" and "halfA" parameters if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "halfA" then A = 2 * halfA parameters A = A else halfA = A / 2 parameters halfA = halfA endif

Hello @Mathias Jonathan ,

For your Master script

!MASTER SCRIPT aleatoire_scale = RND(0.4) temp_scale = A*(0.8+aleatoire_scale) A=temp_scale B=temp_scale halfA = A/2

And for your Parameter script

! PARAMETERS SCRIPT PARAMETERS A = A PARAMETERS B = B PARAMETERS halfA = halfA lock "B"

You need to define halfA in the Master script because it is ran beforehand. When done, halfA and A are set at the same time and you do not have any discrepancy between both parameters.
