GetBoneVertexCount and GetBoneVertexID

[Michael Hartlef]

Hi Petr,

I would like to retrieve the amount of vertices connected to a bone plus retrieve their ID's.

Thanks
Michael

Hi Mike,

the VertexIDs could be returned to passed array, which would be autodimensioned by this command.
Is it ok for you?

So something like:
[code=thinbasic]
NumberOfVertices = TBGL_m15GetBoneVertices( Model, Bone, thinBasicArrayOfLongs )
[/code]


Thanks,
Petr

Maybe I'm to tired today, but I don't understand the concept. Sorry.

I am sorry,

next try

To retrieve list of vertices in particular bone:
[code=thinbasic]
DIM MyIndices(32) AS LONG
DIM HowMuchVerticesReally AS LONG

HowMuchVerticesReally = TBGL_m15GetBoneVertices( %ModelOfMonster, %Eye, MyIndices )

' -- Now HowMuchVerticesReally contains number of vertices in bone
' -- Now MyIndices array is dimensioned as for appropriate number of bones and contains their indices
[/code]

Is it more clear now? :-[


Thanks,
Petr

Ok, but you need to define the array of vertices before with a specific vertexcount, or?

Hi,

I think thanks to thinCore functions I can redim the variable on my own, from within module.
This way behaves PARSE ( not parse$ ! )command for example.

I will think about it more, getting sleepy too today
