hello
exploring some of the per particle attributes, I started with a fairly old tutorial from Digital Tutores ( advanced shading network ) wherein a simple paintBall gun shoots toward a simple surface .
but for a reason, the following expression which is supposed to return the collision U & V coordination of colliding particles returns very strange results . I don't know why .. here's the expression:
global int $numOfCollisions;
global vector $colUV[];
if (particleShape1.collisionU > 0)
{
$colUV[$numOfCollisions]=
<<particleShape1.collisionU,particleShape1.collisionV,0>>;
$numOfCollisions++;
print ($numOfCollisions + " " );
print ($colUV[$numOfCollisions]+".\n");
}
( the red lines are just for debugging purposes)
the result should be like this :
1 0.323566 .4562236 0
2 0.652356 .5986664 0
....
but this is the result the above expression which is not normal:
1 0 0 0
2 0 0 0
.....
I'm using Maya 2011 64bit sp1 on 64 7 windows.
thank you in advance
