Subscribing to the addon breaks a lot of things, but the dropbox download works flawless!
Thanks!

can u make a script that resets the axis to normal directions sometimes when i rotate the camera view it makes the axis all wonkey side ways

this script still works?

yea that link is dead, just use the dropbox download link above in the the description.

when i open the download under the YT video

where did you get that error?

404 - File or directory not found.

just place the file here "SourceFilmmaker\game\workshop\scripts\sfm\animset\" the video below the download link also shows how to use it.

i download something but i don't know how set up this

did you try the other script in the description?

this didn't work, help plz?

Very useful script! And thank you to Kumquat for pointing out it can be rigged to a light or to a head.

One thing to note though, the orientation is based on the origin point which you assign to your model, so you cannot use a single node to get this working well. You would need multiple nodes. This script can only do one node at a time, which is still good enough for me and for most animators. This is just some fun bits that I have learned from playing with it. It could be included in the description for it.

Never mind about the translation. It actually works if I temporarily lock the transform bone to the orientation of the bone I wish for (in this case, the head, and the translation works). In short, your script should be called the Universal Node System! :D

This script works for lights, too! Tested and confirmed! :)
For models, the XYZ translation works in a weird way (it rotates the head on the rootTransform axis if I tell it to follow the node). This script can be used for more than just cameras, though. It's definitely a good helper for locking on lights to assist with a semiomnilight look. Good work. Ill see if I can modify it to work for models.

Interesting. Time to work my attempt at it! :D

thanks for telling me. i added a link to the copy i have. and yes you can add this node control to models too, you would need to tweak the code though.

Nice script dude. Just a warning though. The link your provided to the guy who made a "better" script, the downlink is Error 404, thus it is pretty much gone. Still a good tutorial to explain how it behaves in a little more detail. I'm curious if I can add this node control to models though...

But I can't move the whole camera without the script acting up it seems which sucks :(

I love this item, it's great and helps me with animation. Thanks a lot!!

Alright, thanks! I think I'm done for now.

@The Dogetor, in the sfm script editor or though applying the script you can use help() on objects like this help(sfmUtils) or in your case help(vs.Quaternion)

Okay, how do I use help()? Also, what are the arguments vs.Quaternion?

@The Dogetor, basically practice and experimenting. also using the python "help()" function helps me alot to find out what methods are available in sfm objects. i dont mind the questions so ask if you need help with any code.

Where did you learn how to do this so I can stop pestering you with questions?

Ah dammit, I should have read the console instead of assuming. Thanks for helping!

@The Dogetor,right. did you make sure to change the "frame number" text to a frame number to want to test?

I select the camera in the animation set tree, then right click and go to rig-->script name, right? It doesn't appear to work, unfortunately.

@The Dogetor,you would do someting like this:

transformdag = sfmUtils.FindFirstDag( [ 'transform' ], True )# grab the transform dag

time=vs.DmeTime_t( ((1/sfmApp.GetFramesPerSecond())*frame number)+5)#used to add the key at the right frame

transformdag.FindTransformControl().GetPositionChannel().GetLog().SetKey(time,vs.Vector(50,60,7))#to change the postion

transformdag.FindTransformControl().GetOrientationChannel().GetLog().SetKey(time,vs.Quaternion(-0.4877864122, -0.1150019318, -0.188069284 ,0.84467))#to change the Orientation

basically you are going though the element viewer via script to change the cameras values.you would apply it like a rig for a model.

ok, well how would you go about doing so?

@The Dogetor, well sort of, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

Sorry for being unrelated to the workshop item but do you know how to move a camera's position/rotation through a script?

By the way, this can also be used with lights. This is one of my favorite workshop items because of how useful it is. Thank you!

VERY NICE!

ah, ok. This ones at least in the simplicity of the workshop. Nice job dude

@WellWhaddayaKnow, his script is better, i only made this one because someone asked for a script like this and i didnt really look to see if someone already made it.

>try this other script that was made a few years back by MulleDK19. its a better version of this script.
Is his script better or your script better? and if his is why did you bother make yours? im so confused....

@ToxicRunawayFox I hope you realize that this was made as a shortcut .

i know how to do the same thing without this i just drag the camra onto the screen and move it and if i want the model to move i just put the trancform into it though you need the camra selected ok yea though good mod for beginners. (sorry for my spelling :P)

Cool this is awesome

Nice one !

Seems handy, thanks.

Dude this is fucking sick! Nice job!!

Man, this script is magnificent, Amazing job!!!

Nice job!

Man, I didn't know these already existed! Its just like other 3D programs camera does it.

wow this script is no more doing locking camera to the model also we can edit camera angle with this thank you for script if i broke something about this script i'll let you know :D
