Scripting help needed on syntax and "storeaction " and "localproperties " 2005-06-22 - By Hugo Bergeron
Back
Hello to all,
I dont know if this would be the right list to sent this mail to,
please notify me if I should post elsewhere :-)
This is a two part question, concerning an animation export script:
#1
I'm writing a quick animation export script.
It takes an object collection, and stores the Scaling/Rotation/Translation
fcurves and the facial sliders animation to a clip, then saves the clip on disk
.
To do this, I use the following line, "oObjects" being obvioulsy the objects
collection.
set oAction=StoreAction (, oObjects&"/kine.local.scl,kine.local.ori,kine.local
.pos", 2, , False, , , False, False, False, 0)
So this outputs an action clip as I want it, with SRT's animation fcurves only,
nothing else (no linked parameters, etc...)
Problem is I want to add to that the animated parameters from a "custom
parameter set", so that when the clip is loaded on another character, all the
animation (body and facial) is in one clip. What is the syntax to add the
parameters (which I extract using "localproperties") in front of "oObjects"?
-Using comas wont cut it because i'm using the forewardslash instead of object
.kine.local.rotx,object.kine.local.roty, etc... it is faster and cleaner. But I
need to add : oParameter.Blink for instance in front of it... (which is already
extracted)
-Adding the cpset to the object collection does not work either, since then I
would need to store all fcurves and linked parameters would also be stored,
which I dont want.
I'm pretty sure i'm not making any sense, I have troubble clearing this in my
head :-P
#2
How come I can't extract the local properties of a model or null? It seems to
work only with objects...
For instance, if I have a selected object which have a custom pset, and run the
following line:
for each oOo in selection(0).localproperties
if oOo.type="customparamset" then
logmessage oOo
end if
next
I get the custom pset. But if the custom pset is located on a model, nothing
gets returned... Do I need to modify all the production characters and scripts
so that the cpset is under an object instead ??? (which would be kinda
frustrating :-S )
Thanks for the help !!!
