Keeping the move manipulator visible during scrub / playback - API stuff!

[AronDurkin]

Hey folks

I’m not familiar with the deep down API stuff, I’m an animator who knows some MEL, but wondering if there is a relatively easy way to just edit / hook into / copy the standard move manipulator (or rotate or scale) and have them / a duplicate of them be visible while scrubbing the timeline / playback and maybe have that be stored as an options somewhere the user can easily toggle.

If I can’t find a clever way I’ll have to do something really lame like create an object and hook into the global timeControl variable.

Thanks1

Hi,

I don't think there is an option for MPxManipulatorNode to switch the options directly. Sorry for the bad news.

That's fine, but could I maybe write something myself, if that's possible? It can stay visible in playback mode doing interactive playback.

Hi Aron,

No, I don't think that's possible.

Yours,
