Control Point 1 dimension

[Gregi]

Hello Forum one more time

 

I would really love to have an Control Point-Handle for just one direction (X,Y or Z), the other dimensions as an input port.

So in the end in the OIP theres only one field which i could use in the marionette-object as dynamic parameter. All my tries were unsuccessful.

So, some more information, i still get stucked

 

I would like to have a parametric marionette object with input fields and control-points. a control point should only set one parameter and should be placed depending on other parameters. so i tried to change some codes with kind of succes, but now i got three problems:
1. the with/"Breite" (X) parameter ist not visible in the oip

2. every other input field like "dim" node is resetting after moving an control point

3. i would like tho have NO OIP-Control about the not-used control point (CP_1dim_20-04-23.vwxy in the #OIP Controls in my example) but were not succesfull, is there any possibility to do?

	appMajor, appMinor, appMaint, platform = vs.GetVersion()	
	units = vs.GetPrefReal(150)	
	#script
	pioHandle = vs.Handle(Marionette.parametric_handle) 
	if pioHandle != vs.Handle(0):
		if appMajor >=24:
			Marionette.CreateControlPointCoord(self.Handle, x, y)
			x = x/units
			y = y/units
		else:
			x = x/units
			y = y/units
	else:
		x = x/units
		y = y/units
	#outputs
	self.Params.pt.value = (x, y)

Or, another example to show what i would like to get. An invisible OIP widget for control points would be a good beginning. is something like this possible?

 

[Gregi]

Is there any function reference for

vs.Mrntte_ControlPoint(nodeHandle, coordX, coordY, coordZ, False)

I realized, the second Var (here coordY) is always changing the second OIP-Control, doesn't matter which name is given in the inputs.

 

In my test the second one is giving the Point i want to have, the blue handle is shown at y=100, doesn't matter, where i put the point. But in OIP it chances the Variable.

If i delete "ydummy" in the #OIP Controls, every moving in Y-Axis is shown in the "Z" Value, and no moving in Z-Axis is possible.

 

How could the function be Chanced? do you have an idea @sbarrett @DomC
