Below is an example demonstrating how to reveal the face group on a mesh that is associated with a given node, via script.
// Define an anonymous function; // serves as our main loop, // limits the scope of variables (function(){ /*********************************************************************/ // String : A function for retrieving a translation if one exists function text( sText ) { // If the version of the application supports qsTr() if( typeof( qsTr ) != "undefined" ){ // Return the translated (if any) text return qsTr( sText ); } // Return the original text return sText; }; /*********************************************************************/ // Define common strings var sTitle = text( "Selection Error" ); var sButton = text( "&OK" ); // Get the selected node var oNode = Scene.getPrimarySelection(); // If no node is selected if( !oNode ){ // Inform the user MessageBox.critical( text( "No node selected." ), sTitle, sButton ); // We are done... return; } // Declare a variable to capture the skeleton (if any) var oSkeleton = undefined; // If the primary selection is a bone if( oNode.inherits( "DzBone" ) ){ // We need the skeleton oSkeleton = oNode.getSkeleton(); // If the primary selection is a skeleton } else if( oNode.inherits( "DzSkeleton" ) ){ // That is the node we need oSkeleton = oNode; } // Get the selection map var oSelectionMap = (oSkeleton ? oSkeleton.getSelectionMap() : oNode.getSelectionMap()); // If we do not have a selection map if( !oSelectionMap ){ // Inform the user MessageBox.critical( text( "No selection map." ), sTitle, sButton ); // We are done... return; } // Declare working variable var sGroup; // Get the list of nodes that should be in the selection map var aNodes = (oSkeleton ? oSkeleton.getAllBones() : [ oNode ] ); // Iterate over the nodes for( var i = 0, nNodes = aNodes.length; i < nNodes; i += 1 ){ // Get the 'current' node oNode = aNodes[ i ]; // Get the group for the node sGroup = oSelectionMap.findGroupForNode( oNode ); // If the node is not in the map if( sGroup.isEmpty() ){ // Report information print( "The", oNode.name, "node is not associated with a face group." ); // Next!! continue; } // Report information print( "The", oNode.name, "node uses the", sGroup, "face group." ); } // Finalize the function and invoke })();
