Hi,

I was wondering if anybody could help me. I'm very new to scripting and have not done very much at all, so sorry if this is the easiest thing in the world.

I'm trying to create a plugin that effects selected points of an object only. I'm struggling to find a way to load the currently selected points as an array so that I can move them. Is there a way to do this? I know how to get the point selection as a member of the BaseSelect class, but don't know how to access the individual point coordinates once I have done this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, one side note, I'm currently working out the script on a coffee tag within the document so I don't know whether this changes the way I approach this task.

Thanks in Advance!

Peth

The GetPoints() method of the PointObject class returns an array with the object's points.

Or use the GetPoint() method to access single points.

Example:

  
// op is your polygon/point object  
var sel = op->GetPointSelection();  
  
var points = op->GetPoints();  
var pcnt = op->GetPointCount();  
  
var i = 0;  
for (i = 0; i < pcnt; i++)  
{  
  if (sel->IsSelected(i))  
  {  
      println(i);    //index of selected point  
      println(points[i]);    //value of selected point  
  }  
}

cheers,
Matthias

Excellent, thanks so much. I'd got some of the way there, but couldn't quite get it working. That's brilliant though, thanks!
