Hi Pilou,

> changes also the Shortcut for the other version of Moi! A true ghost story! :)
> I suppose that's explaning my previous "White window" !

Shortcuts are stored in the moi.ini file and by default both MoI v3 and v4 will use the same moi.ini file, so that's normal.

You can set up an individual shortcut that will do different things depending on whether it is running on MoI v3 or v4, or it is also possible to make MoI v3 and v4 use separate moi.ini files instead of sharing the same one, see here for how to set those things up:

<< script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v3'); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v4'); }

it's just an Alert or that makes also good running of the good Shortcut ?
And where put it ? At the begin line of the script of the Shortcut Elephant ? or ...

Hi Pilou, you would need to replace the alert with the code that opens the node editor dialog.

So for example if you want to have v3 do this:

​moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

and have v4 do this:

​moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

You would place the v3 code in this spot:

script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v3'); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v4'); }

and place the v4 code in this spot:

script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v3'); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.alert('running in v4'); }


So the whole thing would look like this:

script: if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 3 ) { moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ); } else if ( moi.majorVersionNumber == 4 ) { moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ); }


Hope that helps!

That was not evident indeed but miracle...
the "Whole thing" works inside the both V 3 (0.97) and beta V 4 (1.0) ! (in the same time :)
Bravo! No more headaches for this for me now!

(i will try again if the 1.0 works also for the V 3 )

Second miracle: the 1.0 works now also for the V3 !
Excellent! :)

About of the Rotate Node

"Frame" parameters are yet nebulous :)

Maybe there is a trick for make a Rotation / a 3D Line ?

I have some troubles with Orient Node!

Seems no automatic "orientation"! ???

Hi Pilou, I think you'll need to supply a coordinate frame at your desired position instead of just a point.

Ok but i don't see difference from a simple "Move" + "Rotate Point" against "Orient" + "Rotate Point" ?

And I must find something who give the exact orientation because with sliders there is not "snap" :)
Something like a "given face" gives the orientation of it...or...

And other thing : does the "Native functions" can work only from them ? So making "Orient" just with them...

Hi Pilou,

re:

Well the regular Transform > Orient command is indeed a combination of movement plus rotation. With something that might have more complex rotations orient could be more convenient. Like if you are applying some kind of repeated rotation on a coordinate frame Orient can take that coordinate frame directly.


> And other thing : does the "Native functions" can work only from them ? So making "Orient" just with them...

Sorry, I don't understand this part.

Actually there are 2 parts of nodes : native and extensions

So i will to know for example if native Orient can be used only with native nodes for obtain an exact results !
Because it was created before the extensions!

Problem for the moment i can't find a simple trick for have the good result!
Difficulties (for me) is transform a selection in a "frame" usable! :)
Orient something following a line or a face...surely trivial but...

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this.

For a curve you could call evaluateTangent on it to get its tangent direction and use that as the z axis of your frame, and you would then need to make the x and y axis directions by doing some vector math like using crossproduct.

If a curve is planar, (crv.isPlanar == true) then you can get the frame of its plane by crv.planarFrame

The next v4 beta will also has that for faces as well.

yes but seems all that is in the "extention" parts!

So stay in stand by till I finish the "native" part :)
