    Hi! 
    I am new to Coffee, but have used Cinema for a long time. I am currently working on a model of a vehcile, and I want to split the vehicle into parts and save them in a folder for importing into Unity3D. I have made a Unity script that reads a JSON string and loads whatever file indicated in the JSON file. Unity will read JSON string, detailing the (xyz and rotation values) and position the parts together. Problem is, i have to export all parts and write the JSON string by hand. Just because I dont know enough COFFEE. This has to change. 
    Basically what I am looking for is a COFFEE script that runs down the object tree looking for transforms starting with the string "Pos_" in their name. This means exporting specific nodes but leaving some alone and also writing a long JSON string with the local transform of detected each node. This way I can easily export a c4d document in as many part-files that I like, and also bring along the transforms I need to put all the parts together nicely inside Unity and other 3D programs.
    Does anyone have a recursive coffee script, that runs down the object tree? It would be perfect for me to modify. It would really give me a flying start.  I will share the results here if I get it right. Here is some pseudi. code for the recursive part of the function. 
    function readnode(node, JSON string){
    > var isPosNode = false; 
    > if Substr(node.nodeName, 0, 3) = "Pos_" then
    > > isPosNode = true;
    > >  JSON = " , "  & node.nodeName & " { fileName :"" & node.nodeName &".c4d" & ",
    >>
    >> x: " & node.pos.x & ",  
    >>
    >> y: "& node.pos.y & ",
    >>
    >> z : "& node.pos.z & ",
    >>
    >> r : node.rot.r   & ",
    >>
    >> h : node.rot.h   & ",
    >>
    >> p : node.rot.p   "

    Here you go, recursive function that browses the complete hierarchy:

      
BrowseScene(op)  
{  
  while (op)  
  {  
      // get name and print to console  
      var name = op->GetName();  
      println(name);  
  
      BrowseScene(op->GetDown());  
        
      op = op->GetNext();  
  }  
}  
  
main(doc,op)  
{  
  BrowseScene(doc->GetFirstObject());  
}

    cheers,
    Matthias
