cant you post the simple code

cant you post the simple code to help me?

i already saw that in the maxscript help, but it says it returns the pos. of ONE specific vertex, not of all of them

unlike the setVert, there all of a sudden i can put in a bitarray as vertlist

polyop.getVert node:

,also i put the object as node, node:$polyName, and it still returns world-coord.
and not the local-coord., is that not right?

IM USING MAXSCRIPT FOR THE FIRST TIME, SO.. OF COURSE I DO NOT NO NOTHING

p.s. i dont know how to call something every frame, i didn't look into the time-values section in the mxs-help yet

example

obj = Sphere()
convertTo obj Editable_Poly
 
p = convertToPoly(Plane())
num_vert = p.GetNumVertices()
 
for t = animationRange.start to animationRange.end at time t do
(
	format "\nAt Time: %\n-----------\n" t
	v_coords = for vID = 1 to num_vert collect polyOp.getVert p vID
	print v_coords
)
