attachTo and selection points

[7erra 629]

Hi everyone!

 

So I'm trying to get the relative offset of an object to use it for the attachTo command. You can return the relative model position with

TER_3den_baseObject worldToModel (TER_3den_attachObject modelToWorld [0,0,0])

But how does it work together with a selectionPosition?

Here is a graphic demonstrating the problem:

The vector from "selectionPosition" to "worldToModel" is the difference between them:

For example:

_attachPoint = OBJECT selectionPosition "SELECTION"; // Vector from OBJECT center to selectionPoint
_worldToModel = OBJECT worldToModel(ATTACHMENT modelToWorld [0,0,0]); // Vector from OBJECT center to ATTACHMENT center
_offsetFromSelection = _worldToModel vectorDiff _attachPoint; // Vector from selectionPoint to ATTACHMENT center
