Ik_goal parent

Anonymous — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 15:38:19 GMT

Hello,

This might be a dumb question, but I didn't find any answer.

I'm looking for a way to edit the parent of an Ik_goal via maxscript.

I would have guess of something like this, per exemple:

IkParent = Box()

NewIK = iksys.ikchain Bone1 Bone3 "IKHisolver"

NewIK.transform.controller.ik_goal.parent = ikParent

But is seems that the syntax isn't right... and I can't find the right one

Thx...

as i can guess you are talking about Vector_Handle_Target which controls Swivel_Angle...

at least i don't know any another "parent" involved...

this property is VHTarget

<ik_chain>.transform.controller.VHTarget

Thanks for your answer,

But isn't there a way to link the IkGoal to an node via Maxscript? I would suppose it is possible, since it is a simple think to do in the viewport.

if you want just link:

<ik_goal>,parent = <node>

Ok i feel studid.

I thought i would be so more complicated then that, like

Ikchain.transform.controller.ik_goal... etc

Well, thank you very much!
