I want to list my root bone and its children

[alexx]

so i guess the "export" attrib is one you created on them?

[svenip]

i would do it that way.

- name the root bone and just search via mel for it

- then list the childs (listRelatives -c -f -type joint) put the ouput of that command into an array

-now go through the array and delete every entry that has not your attribute

you get the idea ?

[alexx]

the listRelatives you wrote down only gives back the direct relative.. not all :)

listRelatives -ad -c -f -type joint

cheers

[svenip]

ok :)

so i have to beat you in HALLENHALMA (mit Windmaschiene)

will be a tough fight

check this out..

very rough one without error detection.
you have to select your root joint and then run the script:


string $rootJoint[] = `ls -sl`;
string $relativesList[] = `listRelatives -ad -c -f -type joint`;

string $returnJoints[];

$returnJoints[0] = $rootJoint[0];

for ($i=0; $i<size($relativesList); $i++)
{
if (`attributeQuery -n ($relativesList[$i]) -ex "export"`)
{
$returnJoints[size($returnJoints)] = $relativesList[$i];
}
}

print ("\nResults: \n");
print ($returnJoints);


that is the part up to where you get all the relevant joints. (root plus the ones with the export attr.)
now you can throw that result in a loop (like the one above) and change the export attributes there..

cheers
