Hello,
I’m making my first steps in scripting… what I’m trying to do is feature that allows to snap an object’s pivot to certain vertex.
I’ve noticed that when I move the cursor (with vertex snapping ON) to a vertex
a message “Vertex snap on [object name] at [XYZ coordinates]” appears on the bottom of the screen.
Is there any way (I’m sure there is ;D) to use those current coordinates it a script ?
I would like the script to do steps, less more, like this:
-
Affect Pivot Only Mode Toggle
-
Read XYZ of vertex that the cursor is currently snapped to.
-
Move pivot to this certain XYZ
-
Affect Pivot Only Mode Toggle
So finally assign this script to a hot key… Move the cursor to a vertex, press the hotkey and have the pivot snapped to this vertex
I hope it makes any sense for you…
Cheers
I don’t know how to read these values from PromptLine but
you can use this…
on btn3DPMove pressed do undo “3DPivotMove” on
(
local sel = selection[1]
if sel != undefiend do
(
–1. Affect Pivot Only Mode Toggle + (store old settings)
local oldSnap = snapMode.Active
snapMode.Active = on
–2. Read XYZ of vertex that the cursor is currently snapped to.
local pp = pickpoint prompt:“Click to desired location.” snap:#3d
–3. Move pivot to this certain XYZ
if pp != undefiend do sel.pivot = pp
–4. Affect Pivot Only Mode Toggle + (restore old settings)
snapMode.Active = oldSnap
)
)
