newbie question

[kurant]

I just started on a Item animation script, in which I need to take the motion from one objekt, perform some calculations on it, ant apply to another object. what I dont know, is how to read the motion channels from the object the plugin is not assigned to.
any help is appreciated.

you have to get the Mesh Object Agent of that particular item first.



myItem = Mesh("myTargetItem");
pos = myItem.getPosition(Scene().currenttime);
rot = myItem.getRotation(Scene().currenttime);
// get the channels

chan = myItem.firstChannel();
while(chan)
{
if(chan.name == "Position.X")
chanPosX = chan;
if(chan.name == "Position.Y")
chanPosY = chan;
if(chan.name == "Position.Z")
chanPosZ = chan;
chan = myItem.nextChannel();
}
