Hi all,

I've created my own, multi-limbed beast and I've used the Perform Checklist for Object Limbs. That's fine - I then successfully use Checklist Quantity to find out how many limbs there are. That also works.
Then I start using Checklist Value A (through to D).

A seems to give me the limb number.
B seems to give me the limbs parent number (or -1 for limb 0)
But C and D throw me. What do these give? The numbers seem to make some sense (i.e. theyre not all 0 or -1) but I don't know what they're telling me. D 'might' be telling me the first child limb, but I'm not sure.

Can anyone tell me what Checklist Value C and Checklist Value D, do?

Many thanks.

Are you a girl? because they have been looking for u in the General talk forums.


They Might be Offset and Scale. But i'm not sure though.

Yes I am, and I've seen that thread. While it's tempting to wade in there saying "Hey! I'm a girl - stop being so shallow and daft! AND I work in the industry (so quiet you boys giggling in the back)." - what's the point?

Sorry you couldn't help - none of the limbs are scaled at all. I'm starting to think D might be the name of one of the child limbs of the limb in question, but I'd like confirmation.

It could be that it doesn't have a function for the Limb Checklist. They May have only made C and D for other checklists. But i dunno anything about programming. The best C++ program i've made so far is a program that adds 2 numbers together and then tells you if its over 50 sorry i cant help.

To the best of my knowledge, values C and D are only used in the net players checklist...

Net players is the only checklist I ever use, so others might use them, but I don't know of them - also I can only account for DBC, DBP might be different if that's what you're using...

I'll check out each of DBCs checklists and see what they do (but limb checklist in particular)...

Edit: To do with limbs - this is what I got

checklist value a - The number of the limb
checklist value b - -1
checklist value c - -1
checklist value d - -1

so, I can't help much either...

...maybe one day I'll finish a project

So checklist value B didn't give you the number of the parent limb? In your test, did you have limbs parented to each other?

Thanks for trying anyway - I can't believe that something like this isn't in the help. *shrugs*

to be honest - I don't really know, I just used a dark matter object that I knew had limbs (although this one only had 2 if you count the parent limb as a limb)

Then I just got used the CLI to get the values of A, B, C and D limb 1 got "1, -1, -1, -1" and 2 got "2, -1, -1, -1"

but I've never worked with limbs before... someone with more experience should know the answer...

I get weird values depending on which objects I load. It seems that it is greatly affectd by the way the model is made.

Ok, I know that I'm not quite off the first page yet, but bumps are allowed here, it seems.

So please - anyone know what C and D are supposed to mean? And if you don't - do you know anyone that would? (I mean, can I email someone?)

Thanks.
