Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
Did you contact the original author and ask him if he's ok with you decompiling his code and making it publically available ? I doubt people release .pyc plugins out of "stupidity", but because they are trying to protect their code ( which PYC isn't great for, as this example shows ). -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
Pseudo code would be locators = xform all locatorsfor vert in selectedVertices vertloc = xform vert, world space for int i = 0; i < size of locator array; i++ locatorLOC = xform locator world space distanceTEMP = distance between locator(using locatorLOC and vert (vertloc) //First run so store the first distance if (i ==… -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
Thanks a lot for everybodys help on this. The script works perfectly. But now i run into another problem. First I must explain the purpose for requesting this script.

Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
The i++ is a counter that increases so at the start its 0 and once it goes through one iteration of the loop it increases so we can iterate through an array. Hopefully I explained that well. Ill try and post some real code real soon. Also just noticed some errors I didnt catch like at the start you should be using the ls… -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
most code built on python 2.6.4 which is what previous versions of maya uses, will work on 2.7.3 which contains mostly minar changes to python Saf. it is 2.x to 3.x that you got to watch out for in python, which is why a lot of people never moved away from 2.x. Also if the upgrade to 2014 breaks parts of your workflow, why… -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator
Yes, most scripts will work. But only if they are not the compiled. I do not upgrade to 2014 version, just looked trial. Quad fill a very cool thing. I just thought it would be nice to have a clean Quad fill script, not compiled ZhCG version. Here the idea may come in handy:
