DAZ script for erc-bake multipel files

Hurdy3D

Hello,

I have a bunch of file where I want to remove the erc-freeze.

I figured out that erc-bake is the way to go, but erc-bake is only working for one file at once.

so, I thought maybe a little script could be wirtten do this.

I was thinking about a script that removes from all favourite morphs the erc-freeze.

erc-bake is availibe via the script api.

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/object_index/ercbake_dz#a_1a0fa552d18aa130c9ad8ac83f17d1f89d

unfortunatelly I have no clue about DAZ scripting.
any hint how I collect all favourite morphs and pass them in a loop to erc-bake?

I made asmall progress:

 

var nodeDzNode = Scene.getPrimarySelection();

var nodeDzObj = nodeDzNode.getObject()

var modifier = nodeDzObj.getPropertyGroups().findPropertyByLabel( 'Morph name');

debug(modifier)

debug(new DzERCBake().getControllerProperty(modifier));

 

The main issue is, that getControllerProperty doesn't accept my Property, return is always null:

 

Executing Script...

[object Object]

null

Result: 

Script executed in 0 secs 1 msecs.

 

Any idea what I have to do here?
The docu is not pretty helpful here http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/object_index/ercbake_dz#a_1a0fa552d18aa130c9ad8ac83f17d1f89d

I'd add soem error-checking to the script, especially I would break down var modifier = nodeDzObj.getPropertyGroups().findPropertyByLabel( 'Morph name'); into separate steps and check that each strep of the process was giving a valid return.

Yes, I already checked that one.
findPropertyByLabel() returns the morph, I tested even reading the current value of the morph.

However, the thing I don't get is:
findPropertyByLabel() returns a value from from the type  DzProperty
getControllerProperty()  expects a DzNumericProperty.

How can I utlize the result of findPropertyByLabel() for getControllerProperty()  ?

ok I found a solution:

 

var nodeDzNode = Scene.getPrimarySelection();

var nodeDzObj = nodeDzNode.getObject()

var modifier = nodeDzObj.getPropertyGroups().findPropertyByLabel( 'Morph Name');

debug(modifier)

var bake = new DzERCBake();

bake.setControllerProperty(modifier);

bake.doBake();

I used DzERCBake in a wrong way.

So... no I have to figure out how to get a list all favourite morphs, any idea?

Someone has to say it: I'm a so [super-duper] S-M-R-T

 

Found a solution:

var nodeDzNode = Scene.getPrimarySelection();

var nodeDzObj = nodeDzNode.getObject()

var allProps = nodeDzObj.getPropertyGroups().getAllProperties();

for (var i = 0; i < allProps.length; i++) {

var prop = allProps[i];

if(prop.isFavorite()) {

var bake = new DzERCBake();

bake.setControllerProperty(prop);

bake.doBake()

}

}
