Re: Select shape keys

["Ahmidou Lyazidi" <ahmidou.xsi(at)gmail.com>]

here is what I'm doingm this should work:

NewScene(null, null);
CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", null, null);
Duplicate("cube", null, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 0);
Translate(null, 10.9175450953921, 0, 0, siRelative, siLocal, siObj, siXYZ, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 0, null);
SelectGeometryComponents("cube1.pnt[6]");
Translate(null, -2.12895273383167, 1.64763424121599, -0.164763424121599, siRelative, siView, siObj, siXYZ, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 0, null);
var Myshape = SelectShapeKey ("Cube", "Cube1", siShapeObjectReferenceMode,1 , 0);
var Myclip = ApplyShapeKey (Myshape,null ,null , 1, null, 5,null , 2);
SetValue (Myclip+".actionclip.weight", 0);

Strange, here it does not set any fcurve, the last argument in the first line tells xsi to not add anything in the mixer.

Thanks, though it only set's the weight to 0, it doesn't remove the
Fcurve. And if anyone have a suggestion for getting a better 'ramp'
like weightmap than the symmetry map I would be very happy to hear
about it.

Here is my current 'beef' with how XSI handles shapes (I hope someone
has a workaround for this).

ex;

1.) I have 10 shapes which I apply to the main head
2.) 7 of those I would like to generate as Left/Right shapes

It applies a f-curve to each of the "SelectShapeKey" that I do.
StoreShapeKey works only if you are modeling with clusters and shapes.

grrr....

Why can't we just have a container with the shapes... Why does the
mixer have to be involved all the time...
