can you find all Particle Flow Classes nodes in a scene? (see the Particle Flow Classes topic in the mxs help for the list)[color=white][/color]
how about the catch…
node.numPViewParamBlocks() or classof node == Event
?
oops scratch that
for i in objects do
(
if classof (refs.dependents i)[2] == Particle_View or classof i == PF_Source then
print i
)
?
i’ve played both of this methods… and both have a problem…
most of PF classes (maybe all) can be created without a Particle View
Birth()
the category doesn’t exactly identifies the class. everyone can make any scripted plugin in category “Particle_Flow”
plugin Helper FakeParticles
name:"FakeParticles"
classID:#(0x5d14073f, 0x21b14957)
extends:Dummy
category:"Particle_Flow"
(
rollout params ""
(
)
)
FakeParticles()
and both of these methods anyway missing one class
I’ve caught all the nodes, the Particle Flow systems and the Events…
(for o in objects where o.category == #Particle_Flow or o.category == #Particle_Systems or classof o == Event collect o).count
What have I missed Denis?
Klunk, I catch one more than yours in my test scene.
in mine yours returns 1 too many (hint not all particle systems are particle flow).
I can count 34 bits in my pflow view, your function only returns 33.
so what does it miss ?
Strange… I just did it again and yours got 34 also…
most of PF classes (maybe all) can be created without a Particle View
maybe so but
b = birth();
classof (refs.dependents b)[2]
still returns Particle_View
and both of these methods anyway missing one class
were you talking of the particle view ?
for i in objects do
(
if classof (refs.dependents i)[2] == Particle_View or classof i == PF_Source or classof i == Particle_View then
print i
)
yes. that was it
