Moho Scripts
3D Camera
Calculate and position stereoscopic camera
ASD7
Tool
This script will help you calculate camera separation and then position the camera for left, right or center view.
After rendering a left and right eye view you can use for example StereoMovie Maker (http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stvmkr/) to put together a stereoscopic 3D movie.
Another great software is StereoPhoto Maker (http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/)

Action Buttons
Action Buttons
ASP9
Tool
Buttons for inserting actions since lipsyncing with actions can get really tedious when you have to right-click in the actions list all the time.
I added the "Sort names" (alphabetically) option since I always use the same names for the mouths but I don't always create them in the same order. Now they're always in the same place.
I still use blend morphs when I need more subtlety in the mouth movements but when I don't, this tool is a huge time saver.
One slightly annoying thing though; it doesn't always update when you select different layers so you may have to select another tool and then go back to this to force it to update.
Oh, and clicking on the screen with this tool will select the the closest layer, just like using ALT+RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON (except this won't expand all the layers).

Animate Origin
Enables animation of layers origin
ASP8
Layer
This script enables the animation of the layer's origin.
This is a layer script and a core file replacement as new lines were needed? - lm_set_origin.lua
How to use:
Let's say you have a vector layer (Layer 1) with a ball drawn in it.
Create a new layer and name it the same as the first, but end it in .origin
So "Layer 1.origin"
On the first layer (layer 1) - load the animateorigin.lua script into it via the layer properties window
Now when you move the origin of the first layer, it will be animated.
The animation is stored in the .origin's translation channel.
Watch video in link for more info.

Bone Parent Master
Mimics bone movement
ASP8
Other
This matches a bone's name in one layer, with a bone of the same name in the parent layer, and makes the parent bone control the child's bone. This is useful where you have a switch layer with a bone layer parent, and you want to animate the bones in the bone layer but still deform the switch layers. Just copy the bones from your parent object to the switch layer, then apply this script in the Embedded script toggle in the Layer properties panel. It will control the length, strength, offset and position/angle/scale of the matching bone.

DF Open Pixie
Pick the colour from everywhere
ASP7
Tool
(Windows Only. Moho now has a colour picker built in)
How do you use it?
If you have installed Pixie, AS will add a button in the tool panel, click it and you will open the tool.
You can drag it to anywhere on the screen.
Right click you can edit the quick key.
The default setting is:
ctrl+alt+c to copy the colour where the cursor is.
ctrl+alt+x to open the colour-mixer.
ctrl+alt+z to popup a window showing you the info on the colour where your cursor is
After you copy the colour you can simply paste the value to the AS.
--------------
Pixie is a utility made especially for webmasters and designers. It is a colour picker with few extra goodies.
Run it, simply point to a colour and it will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV values of that colour. You can then use these values to reproduce the selected colour in your programs. Pixie will also show the current coordinates of your mouse pointer.

ASP9.1
Tool
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3507
My major goal in almost every tool is to minimize mouse clicks and tool changes. The selection of the points seems a bit difficult, the most uncomfortable I think is the Create Shape tool (this is only my opinion, maybe others like it). But, for example, Manipulate Bones works great.
Because I have not enough experience yet with Moho, it should be important to receive suggestions. The known hidden bugs in the tools are also welcomed.
I am interesting on the coordinate model (What is the unit? The height of the field?), the spline calculation method (what is the meaning of the magic curvature value?) and any other important data.
I am also planning to implement my image vectorising and peghole recognition for scanned papers, but maybe the lua is not powerful enough, and I do need a perfect description of the spline geometry first (ADDED: now I know it)

Menu
View & Adjust a layers' sequence offset position in the timeline
The tool allows you to view and adjust the selected layers start frame / offset in the timeline, resulting in either a delay or advancement of the layers' timing - relative to the playhead frame position of the rest of the animation.
Notes:
Any changes made are dynamic and in real-time, so you will be able to see the effect of those changes in the timeline & viewport. Use the Cancel button to UNDO any changes. OK will confirm them. Reset to zero the layers' offset.
You can either set the relative Layer Offset -or- absolute Layer Start Frame, and the other value will be adjusted accordingly. The relative offset is calculated relative to the Document start frame, plus any additional offset already present in the layers' parent group/s.
Features:
- Show current Offset
- Allow numerical entries
- Use Relative or Absolute frame referencing
- Dynamic real-time updates - allowing you to see the effects of changes in the timeline and viewport
- Nudge Left / Right click-buttons
- Increase/decrease values & position with mouse scroll wheel
- Indicates offset inherited from Parent groups
- Reset to zero offset

Added scale limits. Not a perfect solution. The bones won't scale when dragged too far but they will "disconnect" at the joint. I don't find this to be too bad and just keep an eye on the bones so they don't disconnect... too much.
Description:
This bone layer script will make a bone rotate and scale to reach a target bone. The bone controlling the "shaft" in the third animation above is the "aimer" bone. There is another bone that is a child of a bone that rotates around the wheel. This child bone is the "target". The aimer bone rotates and scales to aim at the offset rotating target bone.
Instructions:
The script works with pairs of bones. The "aimer" bone and the "target" bone. Both bones must have the same name with an extension.
Name the aiming bone (the one that will stretch and rotate) with the extension:
.aim
Name the target bone with the extension:
.trg
Bonus Features!
Works with any number of parent bones for either bone. The aimer or target bone can be translated and the aimer bone will "stretch" to maintain its connection to the target bone
This contains a sample "leg" walk cycle Anime Studio file along with the script. Both should be in the same folder.
------
NOTE:
You can't parent an aimer bone to another aimer bone. You can parent an aimer bone to ANOTHER target bone but not its OWN target bone.

Lost layer tool
Collection of useful tools for Moho
ASP7
Tool
This tool can be use as a replace of the translate layer tool and it has a bunch of feature, all destined to work faster and directly on the main screen, without opening layer proprieties window over and over again.
Some features are:
- You have most of layer proprieties on the tool menu to access directly without problems.
- You can change proprieties for several layers at the same time
- Masking is delightful. It let you mask watching the result in real time, so testing is 1000% easier
- Particle proprieties are showed in a tiny window with full access to all features
- Visibility, blur and transparency are easier to animate than ever
- It has a unique feature to capture mouse movement, so you can record in real time layer translation
- You can change blend modes (normal, multiply, overlay, etc) directly and on several layers at the same time!
- You have access to vector proprieties such as animated noise and sketchy effect and see the result in realtime.
- It's very compact and fits perfect even on small monitors
- It even has an About button!
Installation instructions are on the readme.txt inside the zip.11

Nudge Keys
Move keypoints left or right in the timeline
MP13
Multiple
The toolset consists of the following button tools:
The following menu script:
and the following utilities script, that contains some common functions:
I've also included a file, _tool_list_fragment.txt, that shows my recommended key assignments.
So hopefully it's pretty self explanatory, but here's a brief description on how to use it.
1. In any layer, press ',' and all of the keys at or to the right of the cursor will be nudged 1 place to the left. Press '.' and the keys will be nudged 1 place to the right. If the current layer has children then all layers below it will also be affected. If there is a key to the immediate left of the cursor, then a left nudge won't be performed.
2. In any layer, hold down shift when you press ',' or '.' and all keys in the document, including the camera keys will be nudged. The document's endframe will also be automatically adjusted.
3. In any layer, run the rt_create_consolidated_timeline_layer script and all keys in parent (if exists) and sibling layers (if exists) will consolidated into a special non-rendering layer which placed alongside the original layer. Whenever you nudge left or right in this layer its parent and the parent's children are automatically affected. This script can also be run at the top level as well and is useful for monitoring global nudges.
4. There are a number of option variables at the bottom of the rt_nudge_keys_left.lua file, which I plan to implement as options one day using a separate set option script. I'm too tired to explain them all now, but an interesting one is "enable_fake_curvature_channel". The thing is that the curvature channel for each point is not currently available in the script interface, but I worked out a fairly robust way to fake it by assuming that each curvature key has a corresponding point position key. Where it gets a bit hacky is that it uses an action with a single curvature key at a high frame to blank the current curvature channel. This is why it's disabled by default.
Anyway, what I love about Anime Studio is that it's so much fun to use. I just hope this tool makes tweaking the timing as fun as everything else!
Of course it goes without saying, if anyone finds any bugs or has any suggestions for making it better, I would love to hear them.

Rotate Bones
Create moving wheels with bones
MP13
Layer
The script finds a bone in the bone layer with a name starting with "Wheel" and rotates them depending on their length and the movement of the parent bone along the X axis.
How to use the script:
1. Build the bone clearly from the centre of the wheel. A grid to help you (Ctrl + G). For realistic rotation, the bone length should be clearly along the radius of the wheel. The direction of the bone in its construction does not matter. Snap the wheel to the bone through a point or layer snap tool.
2. Name the bone of the wheel so that the name starts with "Wheel" ("Wheel", "Wheel 2", "Wheel 3", etc.). The wheels can be any number, at least a hundred pieces. Tie wheel bones to one parent. Usually there are several wheels, but one car. The name of the parent bone does not matter.
3. In the properties of the bone layer, enable the "Attached script file" option. In the browse window that opens, specify the file "rotating_bone_2.21.lua" from the attachment. Everything! After that, the Wheel bones will begin to rotate when the parent bone is moved (not in the zero frame).
Remember that layer script files, like all external files, are stored in the .moho project as links to the original file. That is, if you rename, move, or delete the script file on the important hard drive, it will stop working in the project.

it operates on actions (both single and multi-frame) and it's differential, so it's good for combining expressions and lip-sync with head turns. At the moment, it only operates on point and bone channels, but the bake button tool, which creates keyframes for the morphs instead of doing it real time using layer scripts, could theoretically operate on every channel.

I suggest installing this script into the "Layer" section of the tool-palette. To do this add the following line under that section in the _tool_list.txt;
button DR_set_parentswitch O
(O is the hotkey, you can set this to whatever key you want, J, K, O and Y is by default not mapped to any tool).
Save _tool_list.txt and refresh Moho (ctrl+F5).

Stacked Shape Tools
This mod allows you to create stacked shapes on the exact same vector points.
MP13
Tool
Create shape tool: This mod allows you to create stacked shapes on the exact same vector points.
Warning: Stacking too many shapes can cause aliased edges when rendered. The select shape tool will help you avoid that.
Update 7/4/19: This now displays selected end points as fat markers.
Select shape tool features:
A shape stack indicator: Shape ID: 0 [ 1 ] 2
-- When you select a shape, this shows all the IDs for the shapes below the cursor.
-- It indicates which shape in the stack is selected with "[ ]". So you can see either your selection change, using Ctrl+Up/Down, or the shape order change (IDs move), just using Up/Down.
Left to right is top to bottom in the stack.
No more Ctrl+Up/Down overrun...where you keep hitting the arrow and nothing happens.
You can also make contiguous shape selections in the stack using Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down. All selected shapes in the stack are indicated by "[ ]" and can be moved as a group.

Two way ticket to frame 0
Quickly go to frame 0 and back again for easy edit
ASP7
Tool
Have you ever found yourself in the position that you needs to go back to frame 0 to fix something and when you have you completely forgot where you were?
Well, fear no more, install this script and whenever you needs to fix something press your selected button and you are moved to frame 0. When you are done you just press the same button again and are automatically moved to the frame you started at.
Installation: Download and unzip in your >scripts>tool folder.
Then open _tool_list.txt located in the tool folder.
I suggest installing this script either into the "Other" section of the tool-palette or adding a new group called Navigation. To do this either add the following line to the end of the file _tool_list.txt;
button DR_two_way_ticket_frame0 Y
or add the following lines;
group Navigation
color 204 220 232 255
button DR_two_way_ticket_frame0 Y
(Y is the hotkey, you can set this to whatever key you want, J, K, O and Y is by default not mapped to any tool).
Save _tool_list.txt and refresh Moho (ctrl+F5).
Note; Currently the frame number in the little square at top left of the Timeline panel doesn't update when you transfer to frame 0 but as soon as you go back or scrub the timeline it's back to normal.

Scripts are provided 'as is', full terms and conditions. They may contain bugs, and although we try and keep them up to date, it's best to check the links provided for updates. Questions and feedback should also be given to the authors via these links.
A good video about scripts: Webinar: Demystifying The Use Of Scripts
Although many of the scripts listed here were written by their respected authors for older versions of Moho, they will probably still work with newer versions. But it's worth adding them to a new 'custom folder' first to check they work the way you want them to.
Please get in contact if you know of any scripts that you would like added here.
