Hello All,
I hope that you all had a safe and happy New Years..

On to my question...

I am using NAMM's bone spline COFFEE tag, and was wondering if there were a way to just have the spline set the bone chains position by just outputting the heading and pitch info and to leave the banking open so that I may manipulate it with an up vector node I found..

Currently I have a an identical system that it's parts are getting their orientation (H and P and using this up vector node to control the banking. It is a bit slow and I am trying to optimize it so that I only need to use one bone chain system..
currently the coffe code does a

[rot=VectorToHPB(pos1-pos);
op1->SetRotation(rot);
op1=op1->GetDown();]

and I was wondering of I could deconstruct the

SetRotation(rot) so that I may acces it's members..

Little help?

you can easily use SetRotation(vector(rot.x,rot.y,rot.z)) and replace (or do whatever you like :), one of the vector components

Is there any way of leaving one of thevectors blank so that I can access that variable with a separate operation? I have an up vector node that interpolates between 2 up vector targets. I want to use it in tandem with the coffe script from NAAM..

Thanks fotr the reply

what do you exactly mean? you can replace each variable whenever you want.
var new_comp = YourOperation(upvector);
and then insert your vector (or components of it) wherever you want.
Or do you mean something else? Show some code. It´s hard to guess what you want to do.

I think what you're looking for is:

    
    
    var oldrot = op->GetRotation();  
    op->SetRotation(vector(rot.x, rot.y, oldrot.z));
