Hi every body.

Hello titof, Welcome

select { object "earth" }
goto { time 5 distance 5 ...}

Try it like this

Code: Select all

        select { object "Earth" }
        goto { time 5 distance 5 }

Hi Darkmiss, thanks for your welcom.

In my previous poste, i think there is a litle misunderstood. When i put the three dots, it's just because the scrip was not finish.
So i beleve that the best way to resolve my litle big problem is a short copy of my script.

The next week when i'll finish it, i post the totality of my script for the celestia community

here is the copy of my script

#### Retour a la maison #####

select { object "earth" } # s?lectionne TERRE
goto { time 5 distance 5 upframe "equatorial" }

wait { duration 6 }

renderflags { clear"orbits" }
labels { clear "planets" }

changedistance {duration 2 rate 1 }

orbit { axis [ 0 1 0 ] # rotation autour de l'objet sur l'axe X
rate 45 # angle de 45° par seconde
duration 15 } # Dur?e de la rotation

Wait { duration 15 } # tempo d'attente

########## FIN du SCRIPT ############

many Thanks for your help....

Wait { duration 15 } # tempo d'attente

This must be a "wait" instead of "Wait". Apart from this problem, the complete script must be enclosed in curly braces "{ }". The following runs here without problems:

Code: Select all

{
    #### Retour a la maison #####
   
    select { object "earth" } # s?lectionne TERRE
    goto { time 5 distance 5 upframe "equatorial" }
   
    wait { duration 6 }
   
    renderflags { clear"orbits" }
    labels { clear "planets" }
   
    changedistance {duration 2 rate 1 }
   
    orbit { axis [ 0 1 0 ] # rotation autour de l'objet sur l'axe X
    rate 45 # angle de 45° par seconde
    duration 15 } # Dur?e de la rotation
   
    wait { duration 15 } # tempo d'attente
   
    ########## FIN du SCRIPT ############
}

I'm never going to get tired of that....

(No, that's not really what bh is talking about btw!!)

Nice catch Harald!

It would be nice if Celestia performed an internal "ToLower" function on both the command and parameter names. This way, we could make them both much easier to read, for example...

Code: Select all

setvisibilitylimit {...}

could be written as:

SetVisibilityLimit {...}


So much to do, so little time ...

What's ESB? Is it Extra Sensory Berception by any chance?
