For those who are interested I've got round this problem by importing a new object from a libray. See the post Setting a light layer's Light Type : http://aczet.free.fr/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... e935a2e2ff

I owe you that beer for sure! I've created a library of non-scriptable objects (Point, Ambient, Parallel, Free Spot, Free Camera) and am able to import, copyToComp, and remove the imported items at the end. Sweet stuff indeed! That's made my weekend, as it's killed 2 birds with one stone :) Cheers, ...

Thanks Paul, I'll look into that.
If it works, and for non-targeted Cameras as well, I owe you a beer.

Cheers!

Hey Hey,
Is there any way to do this via scripting alone? The default spotlight is NOT what I want in some cases...

A fair point. I guess as with a lot of programming problems - you (or I in this case) get hung up over a particular specific of a problem, and you (I) focus on that. In this case, the fact that the method appeared to return numbers rather than strings made me work in a particular direction, and it w...

Crimson Editor is my weapon of choice: http://www.crimsoneditor.com/

Great stuff.

Does anyone know if it's possible (I’ve failed at all attempts so far) to... 1 - Remove the pointOfInterest property, or 2 - Reset auto-orientation from spotlights or cameras, or 3 - Create a non-targeted camera or spot using layers.AddCamera / Add()? ...by scripting alone? I’ve drawn a blank so...

Perfect - Thanks Dan. The following code... str="" arr=["NO_VALUE", "ThreeD_SPATIAL", "ThreeD", "TwoD_SPATIAL", "TwoD", "OneD", "COLOR", "CUSTOM_VALUE", "MARKER", "LAYER_INDEX", "MASK_I...

If I do a straight query using propertyValueType on an object's property I get numbers: 1 : 4818 2 : 4819 3 : 4821 4 : 4820 5 : 4822 6 : 4812 7 : 4817 8 : 4823 9 : 4824 10 : 4814 11 : 4813 12 : 4816 13 : 4815 ...so unless I explicitly compare ie: prop.propertyValueType==PropertyValueType.TwoD_SPATIA...
