Hand Grip Lock/Unlock for Genesis

sg3000

Is there a way, by means of a script or pose preset, to toggle on or off the locking of hand/ finger positions/rotations?

I know you can select all finger joints and click the lock icon in preferences, but this is a chore having to do this every time I change the figure pose.

This product has a feature for locking hand poses, but its for M4, will this work for genesis figures?

Thanks for your help.

That would be fairly easy to script - get the figure (or figures) with

var item = Scene.getPrimarySelection();

for one figure or

var items = Scene.getSelectedNodeList();

then make sure you have the actual figure, rather than a bone or a prop, with

if ( item.inherits( "DzBone" ) ) {
item = item.getSkeleton();
}
else if ( ! item.inherits( "DzSkeleton" ) {
item = undefined;
}

then you would need to get the bones

var bone = item.findNodeChild( "lHand" , true );

and for that the rotation controls

var control = bone.getXRotControl();

and then for each control

control.lock( true );

Thanks so much for replying, this is great, but I don't know how to write a script.

Well, if no one else comes through remind me after Christmas and I'll do it - right now I have one family Christmas car left to make, and I'm not liking the time available for making it.

Rumour has it that he is working from this blueprint, but of course rumour could always be wrong.
