Rig made in LW11.6 not working correctly in LW11.6.3

[Carlo_Jongen]

Thanks Lino for joining this thread,

At first I thought it was a bug, but indeed if you've changed some functions in LW that causes this issue then it made sense. Or at leased I know now what causes it. This character was a simple rig and was easy to solve for the new LW11.6.3 fix. But I discovered this issue when I opened up a ( more complex ) rig I've worked on. Meaning that I have to find all the conflicts in that rig caused by the LW11.6.3 bug fix. So a lot of work if I would like to use that rig with LW11.6.3 and future upgrades.

Anyway, I fixed this example by unselecting the World option next to Rotation Item in the Motion option for that bone. The bone was not parented nor was I using "Follow". Attached to this thread a screen cap to clarify. I'll send you a link by mail where you can download this scene file.

Greets,
Carlo

As I said in a previous post, I was pretty sure the problem was linked to the Same As Item World Coordinates option. Good you fixed that!

Is this something which could be magically 'fixed' with a Python script? If so, what would that script need to do? Only curious.

lol - Think "is not equal to" when you see the != thing.

I know that. Standard Regex; used in a lot of programming languages, of which I am conversant in at least 6. (Note the "That's true" part.) Still doesn't clear up what you mean by stating the equation. IOW... I don't get the joke.

Sure....both LScript and Python could do that easily, just selecting the interested bone and disabling World Coordinates for the Same As Item rotation. That would solve the problem with this specific rig.

Once again I want to underline that Same As Item world coordinates behavior has been fixed because it was not working as it should have (well...we can say it was "broken" for items Record Pivot Rotation was used on....you simply couldn't use World Coordinates in that case before).
