Clone bones

I wrote this script to compensate lack of copy/paste operations on bone objects. This script can duplicate selected bone with child bones. This is pre-alpha version with some restictions. For example, a bone can have more than one child bone, but only first children will be included in copy sequence (yet):
P has 2 children (A and a), but only P-A-B-C bones will be duplicated.
Another disadvantage is bones will be copied without keyframes.
I hope however, this tool can be useful. Anyway, all comments welcome.

Seems a bit strange that this isn't part of the main moho package. Oh well, I guess that's why scripting is so great.
Anyway I was looking at your script and it seems like it would be pretty easy to make it clone all the selected bone's children. You could probably change the RB_CloneBone:Run() function so that it loops through the id of every bone in the skeleton and checks to see if it's a child of the selected bone instead of using the GetFirstChildBone() method. Something like this:
Code: Select all
function RB_CloneBone:Run(moho)
local skel = moho:Skeleton()
local parId = skel:SelectedBoneID()
if parId == -1 then
MESSAGE = 'Select a bone first'
RB_CloneBoneMsg:new(moho):DoModal()
return
end
local dlog = RB_CloneBoneDialog:new(moho)
if (dlog:DoModal() == LM.GUI.MSG_CANCEL) then
return
end
-- Enum all child bones
PARENT= -1
Clone(moho:Skeleton(), parId)
local numBones = skel:CountBones()
for x = 1, numBones, 1 do
if skel:IsBoneParent(x, parId) then
Clone(moho:Skeleton(), x)
end
end
end
Although for some reason this copies the entire skeleton instead of just the children. Pretty good for my first crack at moho scripting though.

WOW!!!
...VEEERY USEFULL!!! THANKS!
PS: I always wonder me too why I could not do that with the main moho package, yes...
