No I don't.
When you create a scripted op on let's say the kinematics.local of an
objects,
the scop contains two ports. One called something like Inlocal and one
called Out.
To make sure the evaluation is done correctly, you'll have to use the
transform coming from the input port, not the one from the output port,
as you are WRITING to the outputport, and READING from the input one.
example:
var xf = Inlocal.value.transform;
var pos = XSIMath.CreateVector3();
pos.Set(10,0,0);
xf.SetTranslation(pos);
Out.value.transform = xf;
cheers!

Hi Andy,
Are you suggesting me to create and use a different Transformation
object, manipulate it and then put it in the
output.kineamtics.global.transform?
Did I understand?
Hi Mathee,
Are you saying the same thing Andy is saying? If not I don't get it.
I cannot use as output the final channel, for example
obj.kinematics.global.posx, because this means I have to use 6 output
instead 1 as so have 6 update instead 1.
What I'm missing?
Thanks a lot to both of you guys
Daniele
