Two Rigging Tools

I wish I made these tools a long time ago. Script #1 is “Create Null as Parent”. I especially like this one. You can make fast hierarchies with this.

Script #1

`/* SELECT THE OBJECTS YOU WANT PARENTED TO A NULL, THEN RUN. MATCHES THE NULL TO THE FIRST CHILD'S POSITION AND ROTATION. */`


/*--------------------

User Input

--------------------*/
 var oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root;

var oSel = Application.Selection;
/*--------------------

FUNCTIONS

--------------------*/

fRun(oSel);
 
 
function fRun(oSel){

var oNull = oRoot.AddPrimitive("Null", oSel(0).Name+"_null") 
 oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosX.Value = oSel(0).Kinematics.Local.PosX.Value;

oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosY.Value = oSel(0).Kinematics.Local.PosY.Value;

oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosZ.Value = oSel(0).Kinematics.Local.PosZ.Value;
 oNull.Kinematics.Local.RotX.Value = oSel(0).Kinematics.Local.RotX.Value;

oNull.Kinematics.Local.RotY.Value = oSel(0).Kinematics.Local.RotY.Value;

oNull.Kinematics.Local.RotZ.Value = oSel(0).Kinematics.Local.RotZ.Value;
 oNull.AddChild(oSel)
 SelectObj(oNull);

}

Script #2

Create Null as Parent at First Point on Curve

`/-------------------- SELECT CURVE(S) AND RUN User Input --------------------/ var oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root;`


var oSel = Application.Selection;
var oCurveList = XSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject("XSI.Collection");
/*--------------------

FUNCTIONS

--------------------*/

fCollectCurves(oSel);
function fCollectCurves(oSel){
for(var en = new Enumerator (oSel); !en.atEnd(); en.moveNext())

{

oEn = en.item()

oCurveList.Add(oEn);

}

for(k=0; k < oCurveList.Count; k++)

{

fTranslateNull(oCurveList(k));

}

}


function fTranslateNull(inPath)

{

var oPntX = new Array();

var oPntY = new Array();

var oPntZ = new Array();

var oNull = oRoot.AddPrimitive("null");
oVB = new VBArray(inPath.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Points.PositionArray);

oPntArray = oVB.toArray();
for(i=0; i < oPntArray.length; i += 3)

{

oPntX[i] = oPntArray[i];

oPntY[i] = oPntArray[i+1];

oPntZ[i] = oPntArray[i+2];
if(i == 0){
oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosX.Value = oPntX[0];

oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosY.Value = oPntY[0];

oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosZ.Value = oPntZ[0];

}

}

oNull.AddChild(inPath);
}
