Is there a way to get the object transform that has my own scripted modifier applied? I know that there might be more than one node sharing one instanced modifier, in that case I’d need to collect all of them.
Depending on the type of the modifier, there’s also the owningNode variable (in simpleMeshMod).
Thanks! It is a simpleMeshMod that I’m trying to develop so the owningNode variable is a good solution. Unfortunately I’ve encountered another problem very quickly.
Let’s say that I want to set some group of vertices in the position of another node:
plugin simpleMeshMod aModTest1
name:"aModTest1"
classID:#(0x3a27e9, 0x222f1)
(
parameters mainParam rollout:mainRlt
(
positionNode ui:snb1 type:#node
)
rollout mainRlt "Parameters" rolledUp:false
(
pickbutton snb1 "--NONE--" autoDisplay:true pos:[70,10] align:#left
)
on modifyMesh do
(
if (positionNode != undefined) then
(
local inMesh = mesh
for n in 2 to inMesh.numVerts by 2 do
meshop.setVert inMesh n (positionNode.pos * inverse (owningNode.transform))
)
)
)
It works fine only when I move my positionNode by hand, when it’s animated my modifier does not seem to update. It also doesn’t work when I move my node that has the modifier applied.
so you want the verts to stay attached to the pickednode?
