Some help needed for guides.

[_Mahon_]

Hi,

I need this script, or another, to place guides in "dead-centre" (50%/50%)horizontal and vertical!
Since I'm a nobody in Jsx I need some help, badly!! :)
For 2 day's I've seen nothing but "errors" :(
Can somebody help me, please?

Regards
Mahon

Code: start
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// make guideline
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function guideLine(position, type) {
// types: Vrtc & Hrzn
// =======================================================
var id296 = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );
var desc50 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id297 = charIDToTypeID( "Nw " );
var desc51 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id298 = charIDToTypeID( "Pstn" );
var id299 = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
desc51.putUnitDouble( id298, id299, position );
var id300 = charIDToTypeID( "Ornt" );
var id301 = charIDToTypeID( "Ornt" );
var id302 = charIDToTypeID( type );
desc51.putEnumerated( id300, id301, id302 );
var id303 = charIDToTypeID( "Gd " );
desc50.putObject( id297, id303, desc51 );
executeAction( id296, desc50, DialogModes.NO );

Code: End

guideLine(app.activeDocument.width.value, 'Vrtc');
guideLine(app.activeDocument.height.value, 'Horz');

Thank you -X
I tried this, but error again

guideLine(app.activeDocument.width.value=50%, 'Vrtc');
guideLine(app.activeDocument.height.value=50%, 'Horz');

Notice that I'm a 'D' blond.

guideLine(app.activeDocument.width.value/2, 'Vrtc');
guideLine(app.activeDocument.height.value/2, 'Horz');

@paul-r
Thanks but .... Error 24: guideline is not a function

[Paul Riggott]

guideLine is case sensitive, so guideline will not work it must be guideLine.Capitol 'L'

Hi Paul-R

I've tried GuideLine; guideLine and guideline, but still
Error 24: guideLine is not a function

[Paul Riggott]

Please try this...

var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;



var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits;



app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;



app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS;



guideLine(app.activeDocument.width.value/2, 'Vrtc');



guideLine(app.activeDocument.height.value/2, 'Hrzn');



app.preferences.rulerUnits = strtRulerUnits;



app.preferences.typeUnits = strtTypeUnits;







function guideLine(position, type){



    var desc27 = new ActionDescriptor();



        var desc28 = new ActionDescriptor();



        desc28.putUnitDouble( app.charIDToTypeID('Pstn'), app.charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), position );



        desc28.putEnumerated( app.charIDToTypeID('Ornt'), app.charIDToTypeID('Ornt'), app.charIDToTypeID(type) );



    desc27.putObject( app.charIDToTypeID('Nw  '), app.charIDToTypeID('Gd  '), desc28 );



    executeAction( app.charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc27, DialogModes.NO );



};

Whow..Thank you so much 'Paul-R' for helping me out!!
This works fine, no more errors & the guides are in "dead-centre"

Thnx ;)
