I've got this



on roll open do
(
(when transform $b changes id:#shipMove do
(
if chk1.checked == true then
(
posPos = [$b.pos.x, $b.pos.y, $b.pos.z + 1000]
Uray = ray posPOS [0,0,-1]
IUray = intersectRay $p Uray
if IUray == undefined then ( print "bleh" )
else (
$b.pos = IUray.pos
norm = -IURAY.dir
rightVector = normalize(cross IUray.dir Norm)
upVector = normalize(cross rightVector Norm)
q = matrix3 rightVector upVector Norm [0,0,0]
rotate $b q.rotation
print q.rotation
)
)
)


when transform $p changes id:#surfaceMove do
(
if chk1.checked == true then
(
posPos = [$b.pos.x, $b.pos.y, $b.pos.z + 1000]
Uray = ray posPos [0,0,-1]
IUray = intersectRay $p Uray
if IUray == undefined then ( print "bleh" )
else(
$b.pos = IUray.pos
norm = -IURAY.dir
rightVector = normalize(cross IUray.dir Norm)
upVector = normalize(cross rightVector Norm)
q = matrix3 rightVector upVector Norm [0,0,0]
rotate $b q.rotation
print q.rotation
)
)
)
on roll close do
(
deleteAllChangeHandlers id:#shipMove
deleteAllChangeHandlers id:#surfaceMove
)


Problem is it doesn't do the same thing. $b is the box I want to move along the surface $p being the surface. I want it to move along the surface when either are moved. It does it fine when $b is moved just not $p, the rotation seems to be rotating the opposite way.


any help would be great, cheers.

could you give us a working example so that we can experiment on?

skinwrap a nurbs surface to the water and use a surfaceDeform on a small plane, then an null with an attachment constraint to the plane and add some controls to animate over the U an V.

Hi crimsonfox,

Please follow this:
1. rotate function will accumulate all rotation value --> you should set the rotation matrix directly

2. You should define the direction vector to [1,0,0] (it is upvector in your code)

3. You should move the setting position of b after setting rotation

Hope this helps,

$b.rotation = q.rotation

Try this one, I made some modification and it worked on my pc


on roll open do
(
when transform $b changes id:#shipMove do
(
if (chk1.checked == true) then
(
Uray = ray [$b.pos.x, $b.pos.y, $b.pos.z + 1000] [0,0,-1]
IUray = intersectRay $p Uray
if IUray == undefined then ( print "bleh")
else (
norm = IURAY.dir
rightVector = normalize (cross [1,0,0] norm )
upVector = normalize (cross rightVector norm)
--q = matrix3 rightVector upVector Norm [0,0,0]
q = matrix3 upVector rightVector norm $b.pos
--rotate $b (q.rotation)

$b.rotation = q.rotation
$b.pos = IUray.pos
--print q.rotation
)
)
)
