I’m at my wits end on this one.
If I run this code in isolation (select and execute), it does what I expect:
$ctrl_FK_r_leg_a.transform = $IK_r_leg_a.transform
$ctrl_FK_r_leg_b.transform = $IK_r_leg_b.transform
$ctrl_FK_r_foot.transform = $IK_r_foot.transform
the FK ctrls snap to the IK bones.
and yet when I embed this as a fucntion on a button, the opposite happens!
the IK bones snap to the FK controls objects.
further strangeness : the same script with different object names works flawlessly on the arms…
I can’t even guess what the heck is happening here…
there is a bug in your code or the bones are named wrong. it’s very hard to say anything more without seeing any details. if you want to get the real help post the code, make scene setup, etc.
Further investigation indicates this is a result of wrapping the function inside of a checkButton.
parameters ikfk_params rollout: ikfk_roll
(
'bool_ik' type:#boolean animatable:true
)
rollout ikfk_roll "IK-FK Options"
(
fn snapToIK =(
print "SnaptoIK..."
$ctrl_FK_r_leg_a.transform = $IK_r_leg_a.transform
$ctrl_FK_r_leg_b.transform = $IK_r_leg_b.transform
$ctrl_FK_r_foot.transform = $IK_r_foot.transform
)
fn snapToFK=(
print "snaptoFK..."
$ctrl_IK_r_foot.transform =$ctrl_FK_r_foot.transform
$IK_r_leg_swivel.transform= $FK_r_leg_swivel.transform
)
checkbutton btn_fk_on "FK" highlightColor:red checked:(not (bool_ik)) across:2
checkbutton btn_ik_on "IK" highlightColor:green checked: bool_ik
on btn_ik_on changed state do(
bool_ik = true
btn_fk_on.checked=false
snapToFK()
select $ctrl_IK_r_foot
)
on btn_fk_on changed state do(
bool_ik =false
btn_ik_on.checked=false
snapToIK()
)
)
I’ve got it working by abandoning function calls and checkbuttons all together for FK snap, instead wrapping the code in a simple button.
button btn_snapToIK "FK"
on btn_snapToIK pressed do(
$ctrl_FK_r_leg_a.transform = $IK_r_leg_a.transform
$ctrl_FK_r_leg_b.transform = $IK_r_leg_b.transform
$ctrl_FK_r_foot.transform = $IK_r_foot.transform
btn_ik_on.checked=false
bool_ik=false
)
But I still have no clue why the function in the first case fails, yet the second function snapToFK works fine. the fact that the hack works tells me it’s the code and not the rig -but even so I have double a triple checked the names.
Chances are I am just not using the check button correctly…
The culprit was inconsistent bone orientation between arms and legs.
the arms were set up fully for mirrored axes
the legs were not
the result was incorrect trasnform data.
