Description
This class provides global settings and information for the application, like querying project related settings like GetFps, GetTime, GetScreenSize, etc., and operations such as SetTime, RenderVideo, etc.
# Get Secen info
print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetProjectLength()) # print project length of the current scene
print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetFps()) # print 60 FPS
# Time info
RLPy.RGlobal.SetTime(RLPy.RTime(30000)) # set time to 30s
print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetTime().GetValue()) # print 30000
print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetStartTime().GetValue()) # print start time
print(RLPy.RGlobal.GetEndTime().GetValue()) # print end time
# play control
RLPy.RGlobal.Play(RLPy.RTime(0), RLPy.RTime(1000)) # play form 0 to 1s
RLPy.RGlobal.Stop() # stop
RLPy.RGlobal.Pause() # pause
# Get Environment info
temp = ""
ret_list = RLPy.RGlobal.GetPath(RLPy.EPathType_Temp, temp) # print path, like: Temp,TemplateContent,CustomContent......
print(ret_list[1])
# undo / redo
RLPy.RGlobal.BeginAction("Motion")
# do something
RLPy.RGlobal.EndAction()
# Get Mocap Manager
mocap_manager = RLPy.RGlobal.GetMocapManager()
print(mocap_manager.IsRunning()) #true or false
# Remove All Animation
avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
result = RLPy.RGlobal.RemoveAllAnimations(avatar_list[0])
print(result)#RLPy.RStatus.Success or RLPy.RStatus.Failure
# Render Video
print(RLPy.RGlobal.RenderVideo())
#RLPy.RStatus.Success or RLPy.RStatus.Failure
# Get Screen Size
width = 0
height = 0
result = RLPy.RGlobal.GetScreenSize(width, height)
print(result[0]) #RLPy.RStatus.Success or RLPy.RStatus.Failure
print(result[1]) #screen width
print(result[2]) #screen height
