| Hello Can you help. I am trying to create a GE script to move a transform group to the exact position of another using getTranslation and setTranslation with GE Could you please help with the script as I cannot get it working I.e. Find the tranlation of node 229 for example and move node 300 to the location of 229 Regards |

| See Documentation -> LUADOC -> Engine -> Scenegraph You'll need at least good knowledge of general LUA scripting and basic experience in FS LUA programming. |

| Hello Before a member of the Giants team wrote it - took a few minutes as I remember it was 6 - 8 lines of code |

| Any more help on this - to align to transform nodes in the exact same position in GE? |

| Hey Brain, I saw this on my phone today so I thought I would make the script for you. ;-) With this script you can duplicate the Translation, Rotation, Scale and Clip Distance of the first selected node and apply it to all other selected nodes. Just change the true / false lines at the top as required and then select the nodes and execute the script. Keep in mind that any changes made in GE using a script 'CAN NOT' be undone using the undo/redo feature so make sure to save often. Cheers, GtX https://github.com/GtX-Andy ------------------------------------------------- GE SCRIPT STARTS BELOW: -------------------------------------------------- -- Author:GtX | Andy -- Name:Duplicate Attribute Data -- Description:Copy the translation, rotation, or scale of the first select node and apply to all other selected nodes. -- Icon: -- Hide: no -- -- -- -- -- Set to 'true' to copy first selected nodes translation. local copyTranslation = true; -- -- Set to 'true' to copy first selected nodes rotation. local copyRotation = false; -- -- Set to 'true' to copy first selected nodes scale. local copyScale = false; -- -- Set to 'true' to copy first selected nodes Clip Distance. local copyClipDistance = false; -- -- -- Code starts here.

Please first select the node you wish to duplicate the Attribute data from followed by the nodes you wish to move."); print("This can be done by holding down the 'ctrl' key as you click on each node."); return; end; |
