Scripting help - PathCns

Hi Demian,

I've added a modified version of your script. it opens up the PPG of all
pathcns in one multi-PPG.
as a tip, I would suggest you to learn about the object mode, which is much
faster in scripting.
you could speed up your script by feeding arrays with your loop and do a
'multi' path constrain and then set the different values with the object
mode.

cheers,

Juan

Subject: Scripting help - PathCns

I´m in need of some scripting help here :) I´m not very good at it so
step by step help would be appreciated.

In my script (se attached script). I´m trying to make a more versatile
duplicate/animation to path
setup. What I would like to have is the possibility to have the PathCns PPG
come up at the
end of the script so that I can set these properties without hardcoding it
as I do now.

SetValue oSelection(i).Name +
".kine.pathcns.affbyori1", True
SetValue oSelection(i).Name +
".kine.pathcns.tangent", True
SetValue oSelection(i).Name + ".kine.pathcns.dirx",
-1
SetValue oSelection(i).Name + ".kine.pathcns.diry",
0
SetValue oSelection(i).Name + ".kine.pathcns.dirz",
0
SetValue oSelection(i).Name +
".kine.pathcns.upvct_active", True
SetValue oSelection(i).Name + ".kine.pathcns.roll",
45

Maybe there is a built in way of doing this, in that case please share it
with me :)
If anyone can set me in the right direction I would be thankfull.

TIA

Demian
