I'm not sure what you mean by "what is calling your script" Unless you mean my checking the multicolor tracking box in the camera controls? It seems to me like I am missing some sort of reset in my script or what ever might trigger the end tracking script.

And yes I would prefer you nudge me gently towards the answer as you are correct I would like to learn this stuff

The tracking start script is :

ControlCommand("Auto Position", AutoPositionAction, "Point")

SayezbWait ("I see a " + $CameraObjectColor)

Stop()

The tracking end script is:

ControlCommand("PointAndTrack", ScriptStop)

Stop()

I have also added the video again since DJ closed the other thread

Okay so just read your comment DJ my guess from that is this:

this line:

ControlCommand("Auto Position", AutoPositionAction, "Point")

should be this:

ControlCommand(AutoPositionAction, "Point")

I am on the right track?

and how do I just do a parentheses and not a winky face....grrrrrrrr

Think of it this way.

What is happening when you turn off the multicolor? When does the script run and how many times does it run? Scripts will not run in a loop unless directed to run in a loop.

What happens when you launch the script and the object is detected the first time in the script?

Is there a way for the script to loop so that it is ready for a second object to be recognized?

How does the script know that it is supposed to say the value of the variable containing the name of the object?

Is there a way for the script to wait for that object to change before saying the name of the object and then going back to the start of the loop?

Things that I would look for in the script help section are Label Goto WaitForChange

To not get the winky face, use the code tags (see the UBB code to the right, or below the text box depending on your browser)

Thanks D.Cochran I will check that out and get back to you what I come up with

and thanks Alan I had not noticed that!

#This is a label so that you can loop your code back to this point
:StartOfMyLoop
#Waits for the value of the variable to change before going on to the next items.
WaitForChange($VariableName)
#Put your code here that you want to fire after the $VariableName value changes
#put your point code here
#Put your say code here
#Put your code here to drop the arm (Quit pointing)
GOTO(StartOfMyLoop)

Belay last post regarding what you said about removing the existing script. I double checked, what I have in the editor is exactly what you have in yours in the video tutorial which is:

ControlCommand("Auto Position", AutoPositionAction, "Point")

SayezbWait ("I see a  " + $CameraObjectColor)

Stop()

So what is it that needs to be removed? I understand your analogies about emptying the box, car or sock drawer, but what needed to be emptied?
