How To Start A Script On Project Opening?

I want to run a script right when I open my ARC project. It does not connect to ez-b's at all so I need to find a way to start the script right when it starts up.

Use the shortcut creator to make a shortcut which can include one script to auto start on load. Shortcut creator is in ARC's menu under options.
#2  
Or you could just say the file and then the script name when you make a new shortcut via windows.

You could if you wanted to manually create the shortcut with the target syntax as follows;

Code:

"PathToEZBuilder\ARC.exe" "PathToProject.ezb" "AutoStartScript"


The script has to be a script not part of script manager.

Look at the very bottom of the EZ-Script manual for the explanation.

Way cant you just place a ControlCommand pointing to the script in the Init script control? It will then run each time ARC loads along with any other script you have in there.

Yes you can:) My init script basically runs a bunch of other scripts which are all in the script manager, turns on the camera and tracking, unpauses vr and personality generator... and a whole load more.
