Hola Pedro, que tal?
fadenGraydi no me funciona. Eligo varios objetos, cambio todas las opciones, etc...
Está hecho para CS5?
Un saludo

Look like very nice script, but unfortunately for me is not working here.
I'm on WinXP 32bit, CS5 Illustrator.
Nothing is happens after "let's boom", shapes are just grouped, and that's all.

I've tried another your script (wallblazer2.0), and it's working fine, but not this one :-(

As stated before, it's exactly the same on Mac and Illustrator CS5. That – sadly enough – doesn't really help us who would have liked to experiment with that script's promising effects. It seems to prove, however, that the problem is not an operating system related one. Maybe knowing this will give Pedro a hint as to where this issue might be solved eventually. ;-)

actually, i'm on cs5 and snow leopard. it works. you have to play with it and remember that the parameters are in px and from the origin. so play with more. took me a good minute to get it but it does work.

Hi Tim,
this is really most strange. After reading your post I just had to try again but I couldn't get any further than before – that meaning the objects I try to "explode" just stay the same but get grouped when "boomed" and change to red if the "colorize" checkbox is checked. That's all – no matter what parameters I set or where on the canvas I place my objects.

I'm still on Mac OS 10.6.4 as well and run Illustrator CS5 (15.0.0).

Maybe you could provide some more information how you succeeded – like the exact parameters you used and the sort of objects and their location(s) on your canvas? I'd think this would be the way to check it out: replicating your actions as closely as possible. If it still doesn't work here (and it seems I'm not the only one having problems) I sort of quit it, I guess...

Hi Gromek

I've since managed to get the script to work by editing the java in textedit, saving and opening the script that way, but it's a massive hassle and not really a solution. But this does indicate the actual script is still working, just the buttons or the way scriptographer talks to the script or illustrator.

Basicly I press the button and nothing, other than turning the vectors red.

Clear as mud I'm sure, if I could help or provide anymore information just ask.

Hi Tim,

thanks for your efforts and the screenshots. So it seems the basic behaviour of the script when just run from inside Illustrator via Scriptographer is actually quite the same with you than it is with me.

If the script works when you set and save the parameters in the actual Java and then call on the script this seems to indicate for me as well that the "actual script" – at its core – does what it is intended to do. Quite like you said.

Maybe there is indeed some sort of communications problem in the way Scriptographer talks to the script to submit the settings made. Maybe the information entered in the interface palette is not conveyed properly? Or possibly it's the way the script's processed data are called back back to Illustrator to redraw the paths?

As I – having no serious knowledge of Java – cannot answer this my hope is with the script's author and that he will provide a working update eventually...

Till then

Tim,

Could you explain what exactly you changed? I don't really understand your modifications, but if you explain it better, this would maybe help solving the issues at hand.

Below is what I was doing,

However I just tried it again and the values I've changed do turn up on the script but the same happens as in the screenshot I provided. So back to square one. Maybe this is because I changed the script version recently, like a little wile ago when someone said there was a new version. Maybe this is a new problem?

Basically:
The graphical errors are now corrected, but not the script doesn't work.

Sorry to be vague, but at the mo I'm at work and don't really have too much time to loads of testing. Maybe it's a problem with my computer?

Scatter brush and a bit more time might work, or ill install legacy versions on a powerpc mac somewhere?

But at the same time thanks guys I appreciate all your help and being responsive.

Cheers
Tim

I just open "fadenGraydiExplosionPack4000.js"

So I'll change the values below:

// set initial values
var initDetonationRadius = 100;

var initShakeFactor1 = 15;
var initShakeFactor2 = 10;
var initShakeFactor3 = 20;
var initShakeFactor4 = 5;

var initTwistFactor1 = 0;
var initTwistFactor2 = 0;
var initTwistFactor3 = 0;
var initTwistFactor4 = 0;

var initScaleFactor1 = 100;
var initScaleFactor2 = 100;
var initScaleFactor3 = 100;
var initScaleFactor4 = 100;

var color1 = new RGBColor(1,1,0);
var color2 = new RGBColor(1,0.8,0);
var color3 = new RGBColor(1,0.5,0);
var color4 = new RGBColor(1,0.3,0);
var color5 = new RGBColor(1,0.1,0);

var doColor = false;

I might change the below area like this and save the file. Re-open illustrator

var initShakeFactor1 = 100;
var initShakeFactor2 = 18;
var initShakeFactor3 = 25;
var initShakeFactor4 = 2;

Now this WAS working at somepoint in the past.

I'm having the exact same issue as everyone else here. I've tried your specs and...the objects just group up and turn red.

I'm using CS5 on a Mac [10.5.8]
