Maxscript - copy and paste vertex weight

Luten

Hi

I found some script (Maxscript) for 3ds Max. "Single Skin Copy and Paste"

The script copy and paste vertex weight between models. It works good but with only one select vertex. I would like to it to work with more vertex than only one. I mean if I'll secect 5, 12, 20 or more vertex.

I'm not scripter so maybe can someone change it for me and sorry for my English

Here it's a code.

global BoneArray
global BoneNArray
global WeightArray
global PasteArray
 
 
-- Pass the vert id to extract all the weights to arrays
fn CopyWeight theVert =
(
-- Empty the arrays
BoneArray = #()
BoneNArray =#()
WeightArray = #()
 
theSkin = $.modifiers[#skin]
BNumber = skinOps.getVertexWeightCount theSkin theVert
BN = BNumber as string
 
for i = 1 to BNumber do
(
boneID = skinOps.getVertexWeightBoneId theSkin theVert i
boneName = skinOps.GetBoneName theSkin boneID 0
boneWeight = skinOps.getVertexWeight theSkin theVert i
 
append BoneArray boneID
append BoneNArray boneName
append WeightArray boneWeight
)
)
 
 
 
 
fn PasteWeight pVert =
(
disableSceneredraw()
 
theSkin = $.modifiers[#skin]
 
print "these are the stored arrays for copying"
print pastearray
print weightarray
 
skinOps.ReplaceVertexWeights theskin pVert pasteArray WeightArray
 
 
enableSceneredraw()
redrawViews()
)
 
 
 
fn find_mirror arrayIndex =
(
-- Build arrays of all the bones in the system
theSkin = $.modifiers[#skin]
totalbones = skinops.getnumberbones theSkin
 
totalBoneNArray =#()
 
for i = 1 to totalbones do
(
boneName = skinOps.GetBoneName theSkin i 0
append totalBoneNArray boneName
)
 
 
 
-- Now we know all the bones, lets parse of list of weighted bones
 
 
SB = BoneNArray[arrayIndex] as string
boneToFind=SB
 
-- Find bone names beginning with CHAR
if (substring SB 1 4 == "Char") then
(
BNprefix=substring SB 1 7 as string
BNsuffix= substring SB 8 255 as string
 
newPrefix=BNprefix
if BNprefix == "Char L " then newPrefix= "Char R "
if BNprefix == "Char R " then newPrefix= "Char L "
 
boneToFind = newPrefix + BNsuffix
)
 
if (substring SB 2 1 == " ") then
(
BNprefix=substring SB 1 2 as string
BNsuffix= substring SB 3 255 as string
 
newPrefix=BNprefix
if BNprefix == "L " then newPrefix= "R "
if BNprefix == "R " then newPrefix= "L "
 
boneToFind = newPrefix + BNsuffix
)
 
-- ok, at this stage we have an arracy of bone names, and we know what name
-- we are looking for. so cycle the array and find the index!
theIndex = 0
 
-- Do we need to find a new bone?
 
if (boneToFind != SB) then
(
print bonearray
for i = 1 to totalbones do
(
thecheck= totalBoneNArray[i] as string
if thecheck == bonetofind then theIndex = i
)
 
pasteArray[arrayIndex]=theIndex
 
)
)
