Hey guys im trying to figure out how to retrieve the UV cords of selected verts in the UVW editor. What im trying to achive is a way of aligning selected verts based on the first and last vert in the bitarray. This would allow aligning of any vertex along an edge line at any angle.
i got this simple code sofar which returns each vert’s bitarray ID
for vert in ($.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.getSelectedVertices()) do
(
print vert
)
but i cant figure out for the life of me how to get two simple numbers from each ID. there isnt any “$.modifiers[#unwrap_uvw].unwrap.returnUVcords() <bitarray>” command
>.<
once im able to get these UV cords it will be a breeze for me
Hi,
from the maxscript reference:
<void><Unwrap_UVW>.[b]SetVertexPosition[/b] <time>time <integer>index <point3>pos
and
<point3><Unwrap_UVW>.[b]getVertexPosition[/b] <time>time <integer>index
oooo thanks alot – you know i kept looking at the reference file and i never see what i really need
me thinks they need to improve the layout.
ok i got it to work – it aligns along the imaginary line! but i have 3 bugs that im tring to now figure out
1: every so often on a line 1 vertex will get pushed away from the line but the next time i try it aligns correctly
2: a line of vertecies which flow upwards with indexes counting up will align perfectly most of the time BUT with a line of vertecies flowing up but with their respective indexes counting down will spew all the vertecies off the line.
3: undo for some bizarre reason doesnt work.
anyone hazard a guess to how i could solve this – my code is quite long and probably confusing to you but if you would like i can post the code of the script
We have to see the code.
