Ok, my first post!

I got a problem by exporting all my models into an other 3D application (DeltaGen from RTT).
I use the FBX exporter and I need to have turned all models 90° (P). DeltaGen uses Z-up not Y-up!
This opperation is just one step of a bigger process before exporting.
I want my 40 user not to do everytime the same steps.

So this little script I worked hardly out works only on one selected group.
But if you select more then one group ... nothing happend.

Could someone tell me what to write in my script for rotating all models P=90°?

main(doc,op)
{
 /* Reset object rotation */
 var rotation = vector(0,1.5708,0);
 op->SetRotation(rotation);
}

Many thanks

You need to iterate thru all selected objects
by searching for the selection bit.

Look at this and you should be on your way:)

  
var op = doc->GetFirstObject();   
if(!op) return;   
  
while(op)   
{   
   if(op->GetBit(BIT_AOBJ))   
   op->SetRotation(vector(0,PI/2,0));   
  
   op = op->SearchNext(BIT_AOBJ);   
  
}

Thanks a lot Lennart

You r the man!

But now there is one small thing left.
When I take the command "select all" from the object manager, it also selects all children.
I do not know how to tell the program only to take the major group of every tree in the scene.

Could you help me with this command to?

Many many thanks, you help me to save a lot of time.

You have to iterate through your scene, something like this:

  
main(doc,op)  
{  
  var obj = doc->GetFirstObject();  
  
  for (; obj; obj = obj->GetNext())  
  {  
      //do something with obj,  it's the topmost parent of each group  
  }  
}

Ok, Matthias

I do think I m not quiet good in programming, so I tried it out and had no result.
So I took the rotate script and made a callcommand out of this input.
Then combined some commands (select all->group all-> rotate -> ungroup->delete empty Group)
this works! It is not nicely solfed, this problem, but solved in a way!

So could you finally help me to make a plugin out of this command jungle so I can share it to our users? Will such a plugin work where I used  a callcommand which came out of a script?

I never created a plugin my self. But I already reached to get a Plugin ID!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards Andy

Ok , I got a result that works!

Look at this:

for (; obj; obj = obj->GetNext())

      // if(obj->GetBit(BIT_AOBJ))
       obj->SetRotation(vector(0,PI/2,0));
  }
}

Thanks again

Scripts are just like MenuPlugins. Please check the COFFEE docu for MenuPlugin.

To convert your script you just put the script code into the menu plugins Execute() method and return the unique plugin ID in the GetID() method.

Something like this:

  
class YourMenuPlugin : MenuPlugin  
{  
  public:  
      YourMenuPlugin();  
        
      GetID();  
        
      GetName();  
      GetHelp();  
        
      Execute(doc);  
}  
  
YourMenuPlugin::YourMenuPlugin()   
{  
  // Call the parent constructor  
  super();  
    
  // TODO: Initialize any local variables etc.  
}  
  
YourMenuPlugin::GetID()   
{  
  return YOURPLUGINID;  
}  
  
YourMenuPlugin::GetName()  
{  
  // TODO: Return the text of the menu entry  
  return "Your plugin's name";  
}  
  
YourMenuPlugin::GetHelp()  
{  
  // TODO: Return a help text that's displayed when the menu item is selected  
  return "Some help text";  
}  
  
YourMenuPlugin::Execute(doc)  
{  
  // Called when the menu item is chosen  
    
  var obj = doc->GetFirstObject();  
    
  for (; obj; obj = obj->GetNext())  
  {  
      // if(obj->GetBit(BIT_AOBJ))  
      obj->SetRotation(vector(0,pi05,0));  
  }  
}  
  
  
/////////  
// Main  
  
main()  
{  
  Register(YourMenuPlugin);  
}  

cheers,
Matthias

Some corrections to the plugin (missing refresh). Also it has now an icon and is undoable.
