Hi,
I would need to "monitor/get the info from" the Goto Start command (CallCommand(12501) into my script.
I need to made an action (SetSelection) when going back to frame 0.
Is this possible?
Thanks a lot,
Jean

The only way to do this in COFFEE is by writing an ExpressionPluginTag plugin. The tag will be called if you step through the frames. You can then check at which frame you are and react accordingly. There are some limitations to tags though. File access and scene structure modifications are forbidden for instance.

cheers,
Matthias

Hmm I am not sure what your problem exactly is.
Like Matthias said, a way to "leave a skript in the scene" is an ExpressionTagPlugin.
But you could also use a NonModalDialog.

To check for the frame:

  
var time = doc->GetTime();  
var frame = time->GetFrame(doc->GetFps());  
  
if(frame == 0) {  
  //Do stuff since frame 0 is active  
}

If you only want it being executed *once* in frame 0, you have to use a second variable.

  
var time = doc->GetTime();  
var frame = time->GetFrame(doc->GetFps());  
var executed;  
if(!executed || frame != 0) { executed = false; }  
  
if(frame == 0 && executed != true) {  
  //Do stuff since frame 0 is active  
}

Cheers, nux
