[Closed] Silly Question – Syntax for connecting points (nodes) to Blobmesh compound?

Apr 04, 2006 2:10 pm

I guess my last thread just wasn’t destined to survive, but I’m still having a boatload of trouble with MXS, and my project deadline is approaching…FAST. Perhaps if I’m a little luckier this time, someone might have an answer for me…? Please?

It’s a simple one, too. Can someone give me a really short bit of code that shows how I could attach a point helper to a Blobmesh compound object in script? I’ve been looking at the reference (as I do often) but for some reason I still get errors that make me feel worthless.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

SplitXRaven,

here is a bit of code:


  (
  maxPoints = 20
  b = blobmesh ()
  
  for i = 1 to maxPoints do (
   p = point pos:[random -20 20, random -20 20, random -20 20]
   b.addBlob p
  )
  )

After looking at the reference I am a litte bit confused how to use the blobMeshOps Interface correctly. But using addBlob as a method of the blobMesh works …

– edit

 b = blobmesh ()
 bOps = b.blobMeshOps
 p = point pos:[random -20 20, random -20 20, random -20 20]
 bOps.addBlob p

– end edit

Thanks. I’ll try it in a few hours when I get back to my studio. I do remember trying something similar to the first chunk of code you gave me, but I was still having issues…it’s probably just me. I’m also unfamiliar with BlobMeshOps as well, but if I don’t end up needing to use it, then I’ll be alright.

Thanks again.
