@toadstorm fuck yesss that worked! was able to see the definition of the functions in there, found the inputindex call

for anyone curious, inputindex was the param i was looking for. the code for the action button: “` from kinefx.ui import rigtreeutils rigtreeutils.selectPointGroupParm(kwargs, inputindex=1) “` and the menu script: “` from kinefx.ui.jointselection import buildTransformMenu return buildTransformMenu(kwargs[‘node’], inputindex=1, is_motionclip=False) “`

gives you joint selection for the second input of your hda

i wanted to copy a bunch of “characters” to points and be able to deform them with a rigpose after cloning. here is a hip file with my solution to updating the capture data so that the deformer works

huhu, yes its late but luckily i am a night owl :D.

if you want to fetch your rig with a component script you will need to use those 2 nodes. because you want your graph to be loaded as a graph objects. its a looooot nicer to work with

and here is a little goodie. a hello world component. add as many hello world nodes as you like 🙂

The legs use a simplified IK hda I have made called QuickIK it makes setting up ik chains for silly simple rigs really quick and fun. I will post a hipfile as soon as I get to work.

Here is quickIK the super simple IK setup thingie

Curious to hear what you think. I’m a total kinefx noob … probably some odd choices in that setup

I really want to tackle a version now that can roll over the corners, rather than just hinge on the edges. Maybe tomorrow

Much more straightforward than I thought

Here is another go a squash and stretch, I calculated the distance between two points and then scaled a joint in-between.

I have added some shape controls on the rig vop, something to play with
