Examples

VBScript Example

    '
    ' This example creates a simple Action and instantiates it
    ' on two different objects using a connection mapping template.
    ' It shows very basic mixer scripting -- creating Actions, tracks
    ' and clips, as well as a simple mapping template.
    '

    ' Create objects for our example.
    set oSphere = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "MeshSurface" )
    posParams = "/kine.local.posx,kine.local.posy,kine.local.posz"

    ' Make an Action with it moving diagonally over 20 frames.
    SetPositionKey oSphere, 1, -5, -5, 0
    SetPositionKey oSphere, 20, 5, 5, 0

    ' Create a layer track and instantiate the Action onto it
    set oTrack = AddTrack( "Scene_Root", , 5 )
    set oClip = AddLayerClip( "Scene_Root", oTrack )

    '==================================================
    ' Helper method to key an object somewhere at a given frame.
    '==================================================
    sub SetPositionKey( in_oObj, in_frame, in_posX, in_posY, in_posZ )
