Group Attaching

Submitted by artrender.info on Sun, 2013-06-02 14:47

Tell me please, I just want to make the same operation like simple attach group tool! I need to use this:

attachNodesToGroup

I know that I can use

on atachbtn click do 
( 
   attachNodesToGroup selection <targetNode> 
)

but how to define targetnode that will be a group? It means that selection should be attached to the picked group=>finally it will be a group as well! How to pick a group by script? Thx in advance!

on atachbtn picked obj do 
( 
   if isValidNode obj AND isGroupHead obj do 
   print obj.name 
)

doesn't work for me

This is funny work around

Try this
select some objects that you want to attach then run code below and pick any group member

fn getGrandParentName obj = (while obj.parent != undefined do obj = obj.parent)
fn groupFilt o = (isGroupMember o)
if selection.count != 0 do
(
	grpMember = pickObject count:1 filter:groupFilt rubberBand:selection.center rubberBandColor:yellow
	if isValidNode grpMember do 
	( 
		if isGroupHead (grpHead = getGrandParentName grpMember) do attachNodesToGroup selection grpHead
	)
)

Yup. I'm here and just finish my new tool and post it on "Scripts" page.
Whole day I try to find a bug and finaly "seed" function is the main reason for the lost time. Thanks to Kostadin (miauuu) and DenisT problem are solved.
