Script to enable animated noise for multiple vector layers?

Maybe a scripter can help me out here?
I have a lot of projects where I have to enable Noisy outlines, Noisy fills & Animated noise on all vector layers. A script that would change this for all (or all selected) vector layers, would be great.
If it's not too hard to script, I'd appreciate it a lot!

You can do this with Ramon's lost layer tool
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16862 , but first you have to select all vector layers, if it is to much work try with this menu script, but for noise settings you must go into the script code and change manually.
Code: Select all
-- **************************************************
-- Provide Moho with the name of this script object
-- **************************************************
ScriptName = "LM_Sketchy"
-- **************************************************
-- General information about this script
-- **************************************************
LM_Sketchy = {}
LM_Sketchy.BASE_STR = 2480
function LM_Sketchy:Name()
return "Sketchy"
end
function LM_Sketchy:Version()
return "6.0"
end
function LM_Sketchy:Description()
return MOHO.Localize("/Scripts/Menu/Sketchy/Description=Applies a sketchy line style to all vector layers in the document.")
end
function LM_Sketchy:Creator()
return "Smith Micro Software, Inc."
end
function LM_Sketchy:UILabel()
return(MOHO.Localize("/Scripts/Menu/Sketchy/ApplySketchyEffect=Apply Sketchy Effect"))
end
-- **************************************************
-- The guts of this script
-- **************************************************
function LM_Sketchy:IsEnabled(moho)
return true
end
function LM_Sketchy:ConvertLayer(moho, layer)
if (layer:LayerType() == MOHO.LT_VECTOR) then
local vectorLayer = moho:LayerAsVector(layer)
vectorLayer.fNoisyLines = true
vectorLayer.fAnimatedNoise = true;
vectorLayer.fExtraSketchy = true;
vectorLayer.fExtraLines = 5;
vectorLayer.fNoiseAmp = 6.0 / moho.document:Height();
vectorLayer.fNoiseScale = 48.0 / moho.document:Height();
elseif layer:IsGroupType() then
local groupLayer = moho:LayerAsGroup(layer)
for i = 1, groupLayer:CountLayers() do
local subLayer = groupLayer:Layer(i - 1)
self:ConvertLayer(moho, subLayer)
end
end
end
function LM_Sketchy:Run(moho)
for i = 1, moho.document:CountLayers() do
moho.document:Layer(i - 1):SetSecondarySelection(true)
end
moho.document:PrepMultiUndo()
moho.document:SetDirty()
for i = 1, moho.document:CountLayers() do
moho.document:Layer(i - 1):SetSecondarySelection(false)
end
for i = 1, moho.document:CountLayers() do
local layer = moho.document:Layer(i - 1)
self:ConvertLayer(moho, layer)
end
end

omg, one correction, seems like script above is not custom, it is official in ASP under scripts/draw/apply sketchy effect

now I remember, I had script like you described but it won't work in 9.5. It was made by Stan and with some Wes modification it was great

Thanks
I added
vectorLayer.fNoisyShapes = true; and changed the settings in the original script, it took me some time to figure out it wasn't
fNoisyFills. Works great now. Cheers!
