Scripting : select object by click ?

[cbellang]

Hi everyone,

I am writing some scripts to plan future observations.
I am looking for a function equivalent to StelMainScriptAPI::getObjectInfo(name_of_the_object) but accessible by a click on the object in the map instead of the name. I will thus progam some calculus on the datas I recover for the selected object and display them.

Is there an easy way to realize such a function ?

Regards,

Thank you very much, but, how do you get the object you clicked on ?  (getObjectData WARNING - object not selected) Regards, Le 16/05/2021 à 20:57, Georg Zotti a écrit :

Obviously you must have an object selected before running the script. There is no user interaction intended while a script is running.

map=core.getSelectedObjectInfo();
core.output(map["name"]);

or as documented in http://stellarium.org/doc/0.21/classStelMainScriptAPI.html#aebaa4b5ef785df2227317844e95279d7

core.output(core.mapToString(map));

Ah ok ! A thought it was possible to interact with a script. Thank you very much for your answers. Le 17/05/2021 à 11:09, Georg Zotti a écrit :

You could always add a keypress pause. That is, 1st ask the user to Select a Object, then pause the script to give them a chance and when they are done press to a key to continue.

See example

// Author: Qam1
// Name: Select Object then press a key
// License: Public Domain
// Description: Example, shows how to use key press to allow a user to Select Object
// Version: Set 1.0
//
// Made on Stellarium 0.21.0

//

LabelMgr.deleteAllLabels();

txt1 = LabelMgr.labelScreen("Select any Object and then Press B to begin", 400, 100, false, 40, "#FF7777");
LabelMgr.setLabelShow(txt1, true);

ob = ConstellationMgr.getFlagBoundaries();

kp = 0;

while (kp == 0)
{

cb = ConstellationMgr.getFlagBoundaries();

if (cb != ob)
{
kp = 2
}

}

ConstellationMgr.setFlagBoundaries(ob);

LabelMgr.deleteAllLabels();

map=core.getSelectedObjectInfo();

name = map["localized-name"];

txt1 = LabelMgr.labelScreen("You Selected " + name, 400, 200, false, 40, "#FF7777");
LabelMgr.setLabelShow(txt1, true);

core.wait(2);

Indeed. This hack needs to go into the User Guide! Your scripts are maxing out the scripting possibilities...

Unfortunately it works only if user has not reconfigured the default hotkeys. This should be added to the script comments.

Thank you very much ! I will try it soon.
