Hi,
I was hoping this would work but unfortunately id doesn’t.
I’m dropping my script into the viewport, it runs properly. Then I run command
sysInfo.currentdir
and the path does not match.
Is there any other way I could drag and drop the script and get it’s path?
Do you want to get a path to the script that you have just dropped into the viewport from, say an explorer window? As Dave said, use getThisScriptFilename()
(
local script = getThisScriptFilename()
local scriptPath = getfilenamepath script
messagebox scriptPath title:"And that's all I have to say about that..."
)
Save this to an external file, then drag and drop it into the viewport, it should say where it has come from.
There is a function which is
getThisScriptFilename()
Which will get the filename of a script that is being run, but it has to be in the script that is being dropped in.
Actually it works when run from editor, not on drop in the viewport…
Indeed this is working. I don’t know why when I tied this in my script it kept me giving wrong paths.
Thanks!
