Querying cluster weight

[jdj]

Hi

Straight from the horse's mouth (or Online Docs anyway):



-v/value double
The percent value to be applied. The default is 1. In query mode, returns an array of doubles corresponding to the weights of the selected object components.


so...

float $weights[] = `percent -q -v yourcluster`;

...then you pick the value from the $weights array.

Cheers!

Thanks, just tried it, but I can't figure out why I get this strange message:

// Error: No match to deformer name. //

, even though the cluster name was correct...

make sure you use the cluster name (listed in the clusterHandle outputs. in the channel box) not the clusterHandle name.

Thanks John...

It works just fine now. Luckily whatever you name you cluster handle, the cluster name is cluster handle name + "Cluster". Easy to incorporate into the script.

But I still find it kinda strange that if you query a cluster weight on a vertex outside the cluster, a value of 1 is returned. It does't really make sense, cos the cluster has no influence there...
