hello,
I am trying to create a tool to move a spline like outline command so when i drag the spline with mouse all vertices move like that.
here’s my script
tool OutlineOffset
(
local fs, copSpl, closedFlag, knot_n
on mousePoint click do coordsys grid
(
if click == 1 then
(
spl=$
copSpl=copy spl
convertToSplineShape copSpl
closedFlag=(isClosed copSpl 1)
knot_n=numKnots copSpl 1
print copSpl
)
if click == 3 then
(
applyOffset copSpl (length gridDist)
/*
Code to delete unwanted and recreate spline
*/
#stop
)
)
on mouseMove click do
(
-- applyOffset copSpl (length gridDist) --doesn't work here
)
)
applyOffset does not show result interactively
splineOps.startOutline does get activated in mouse click events
this must be done before if anyone know.
this is what i want with mouse drag
Thanks
hi
for now im using itoo free plugin for this in my script with measureOffset function as input value
but this function doesn’t give correct value if spline objectoffsetpos value is not [0,0,0]
sp=$spine
with redraw off
(
t=sp.objectoffsetpos
sp.objectoffsetpos=[0,0,0]
in coordsys local move sp t
)
this moves pivot position which i dont want
resetxform is slow
here i am attaching with rectangle is there any better way
with redraw off
(
k=convertToSplineShape(rectangle pos:sp.center Length:10 Width:10)
for i=(numsplines k) to 1 by -1 do (deleteSpline k i)
addAndWeld k sp -1
updateshape k
)
With math functions you can calculate position of verts
by InVec and OutVec you can get normal , then the azimuth , then calculate the length to move , move verts , that’s all
you may use sin , cos and atan2 to calculate
