Hi,
I'm trying understand reactor...
does anyone can give me some samples with the
vlr-commandWillStart
vlr-commandEnded
vlr-commandCancelled
??
thanks.
-
Sure Andrea, be glad to!
Check out this link (http://theswamp.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3267&highlight=reactor). It has quite a bit of really great information about reactors and how they work.
-
ok...I have made this...
for test..
but the alert box apear 4 times...WHY ???
(vl-load-com)
;*******************************************************
(vlr-command-reactor
nil '((:vlr-commandWillStart . startCommand))
)
(defun startCommand (calling-reactor startcommandInfo /)
;thecommandstart drgName newname)
(setq thecommandstart (nth 0 startcommandInfo))
(if (= thecommandstart "PLINE")
(progn
(alert "The PLINE command was activated")
(setq thecommandstart NIL)
)
(setq thecommandstart NIL)
)
))
any HELP ??

Serge !! Bon sens,, j'étais en train de t'écrire quand j'ai vu ton post..
depuis le temp que j'essai de trouver le pourquoi du comment.....ouf !!
Je ne sais plus comment t'appeler maintenant....
Proffesseur, Maître,....ou tout simplement Dieu !! 8)
un GROS merci....

Wow, Andrea, that's an awful lot of praise you threw out there!
Should I have answered you in French?

Ne soyons pas chauvin, nivuahc! :D :lol:
Glad you enjoyed the other link. Reactors are great... when they behave!!! :oops:

Je ne sais plus comment t'appeler maintenant....
Pas besoin de m'appeler, je viens tout seul. <<Marrant non! :P

French??? You might try Italian, if you want them to understand it.

Parlo anche Italiano...e tù ?
in fatto...sono nato a Roma.

ok now i've discover something..
The code work only with AutoCAD 2004 and Higher..
In 2002..this code is not reset back the layer..
WHY ?
FRENCH
Je ne sais pas trop pourquoi ce foutu code ne fonctionne pas bien en 2002
il ne retourne pas à la couche précédente.
-
Hmmm, maybe I should start writing in Danish?
[sarcasm]But then I would probably not receive any help in an english speaking forum, would I now?[/sarcasm]
-
ok...maybe to much work than i can't see..
but i have this code..to anable reactor...
(defun c:HTz ()
(if (CC_find_env);;detect if some variable is set
(progn
(SDC_readSfile);;read other variables
(setq BC1r T11r
BC1 T11
);;redefine some variables
(loadreactortype);;<---HERE LOAD REACTOR NOT WORKING
);;progn
);;if
(command "_DTEXT")
);;end HTz
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defun loadreactortype ()
;;(alert "Reactor loaded")
(vl-load-com)
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandWillStart . startCommand)))
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandEnded . endCommand)))
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandCancelled . cancelCommand)))
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandFailed . failedCommand)))
)
Also i have made tests with alertbox....and the alertbos is shown..
but the reactor is not active..
why ? :cry: (i'm tired)
-
Quit using "COMMAND" In reacor apps!
-
To add to 7's comment. While it's bad to use command in reactors, it's even worse to use a command line that errors out to user control and doesn't take control back. Autocad needs to have control in order to react.
-
Se7en, the COMMAND is not within a callback so it's perfectly legal.
Andrea, the code you posted gives no clue to the problem, except that CC_FIND_ENV probably returns nil so that LOADREACTORTYPE will never be called.
When you get it working, I hope you are aware of the fact that the way it is written, it will add reactors each time C:HTZ is called (which can become very unpleasant).

The point is that you shouldnt use command or setvar in reactor apps at all untill you KNOW how/why/when you can use them. The fact that you can in certin circimstances is irrelevent to (s)he trying to learn reacotors. First they must learn why/what their code is doing before they can start learning the loop holes.
-
Aye Sir!
:P
-
Im sorry if i sounded gruff in my post.
I think it would be best if you use Pseudo code to layout your reactors. Cause then you can see potential disasters. Creating a reactor everytime a command is called is not a really good idea. ...you have to be carefull when you use reactors. They can get away from ya real fast.
-
A sure way to create a house of cards is to use reactors gratuitously. We use them VERY sparingly.
-
ok...so if i understand...
can i modify the code like this..
(defun c:HTz ()
(if (and (not var1) (CC_find_env));;detect if some variable is set
(progn
(SDC_readSfile);;read other variables
(setq BC1r T11r
BC1 T11
);;redefine some variables
(loadreactortype);;<---HERE LOAD REACTOR NOT WORKING
);;progn
);;if
(command "_DTEXT")
);;end HTz
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defun loadreactortype ()
(setq var1 T)
;;(alert "Reactor loaded")
(vl-load-com)
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandWillStart . startCommand)))
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandEnded . endCommand)))
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandCancelled . cancelCommand)))
(vlr-command-reactor nil '((:vlr-commandFailed . failedCommand)))
)
But not seam to work... :roll:
-
Setting a flag is one way to go about it, yes. If being precarious, which we all tend to be at times, it wouldn't necessarily mean that the reactors were actually created, though.
Personally, I would use the return value from VLR-COMMAND-REACTOR to tell me directly about the success of the function (in this particular case all the return values).
-
SMaden..
I'm not sure if I really understand...
could you explain a little more ?
-
It's pretty much explained in the thread (http://www.theswamp.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=34629#34629) that Serge linked to. Did you read the comments in the code?

Ok.. I've made some modification in my routine...and it work just fine with 2002 and 2004.
thanks all..
Now I need to know how to unload the reactor without closing the drawing..
any idea ?
-
ok sorry...i just find it !!
(vlr-remove-all) :oops:
-
I'm glad you got it working, Andrea.
Just in case you forgot to do this: If you are depending on recreation of the reactor after having killed it and you are maintaining a global variable that points to it then set the global to nil when destroying it.
;; if you are doing this to create the reactor:
...
(if (not *my-reactor*)
(setq *my-reactor* (vlr-command-reactor .... etc..)
)
...
;; then do this when destroying it:
...
(vlr-remove-all)
(setq *my-reactor* nil)
...
Of course, if you have multiple reactors running, you can also kill the specific one with (vlr-remove *my-reactor*)
-
thanks SM I appreciate..
-
I use this...
(vlr-remove-all :vlr-command-reactor)
is this ok ?
-
That would be correct if you want to kill all command reactors, yes.
