pointOnPolyConstraint in MEL

[ginodauri]

For example if you attach locator on plane , in contrain you should see attributes like this:

pPlane1UO
pPlane1VO

This is controling U and V position of constrain.

in that case am I to extract a UV position for the point on the surface that I id like to constrain to? Can i do this via mel using a vertex position?

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
string $pycmd = python( "import maya.app.general.pointOnPolyConstraint;maya.app.general.pointOnPolyConstraint.assembleCmd()" );
$cmd = "{string $constraint[]= `pointOnPolyConstraint $sel[0] $sel[1]`" + $pycmd + ";}";
evalEcho($cmd);

Should do what you need. Not the prettiest of ways of doing it but it works.
