Hi

I try to Position Objects on a spline and have some issues when the spline is not in the same null object- i try to get the offset by checking all - parent objects - but i have to mention the rotation - have one of you an idea ?

def GetContainerPosOffset(self, node) :
    parentpos = c4d.Vector(0)
  if node.GetUp() != None:
        parnode = self.GetContainerPosOffset(node.GetUp())
        #print parnode
        parentpos += parnode
    parentpos += node.GetAbsPos()
	 
    return parentpos

Edit notice NiklasR : fixed code formatting

You should prefer GetMg().off over GetAbsPos(). Why not just use GetUpMg()?

Best,

hey Niklas,

thanks for your reply -

your right - it's a better way - but it don`t help me to calculate the right position
