spline vertex animation

Description

hello

I have a problem with a spline vertex that I want to attach to an object in my scene. I am trying to do it like that :


b = $crochet
s = $cable_crochet

animateVertex s #all

cont = s[4][#MASTER][2].controller = point3_script()
cont.script = "$crochet.pos"

but vertex is not going to the right position,(but it's animation follows the object it is attached to ....onliy position is wrong) I just can't understand why.

Does somebody have a clue ?

well, thank for this explain!!but i try this, no way
i don't know yet how use it exactly...plz
we supose a spline $S , write me a short script from A to Z,(supose that the splineshape $S is selected )
wich animate the 1st vertex from his initial position to for example [10,25,100] at the frame 25f
it mean :

at time 0f ( $S 1st vertex position is "his own pos")
at time 25f ($S 1st vertex position is [10,25,100])

or as u want, the issential in this, show me exactly how animate it,for the rest i'll work on it!!!
thx very much :)

do you plan to animate vertex with keyframes, or you plan to script an animation controller ?

s = $my_spline
animateVertex s #all
-- #all or an array of vertices you want to animate

this will let you access MasterController of your spline.
and then, assign a controller to it

cont = s[4][#MASTER][2].controller = point3_script() // or any controller you want

hope it helps ....

I have just found the solution...
I had to substract position vector of vertex it self


cont.script = "$crochet.pos - $.pos"
