How To Get Data From A Node

[sibarrick]

Hi all,

How do you go about reading data from a node that isn't the one you currently are, if you see what I mean?

Ie say I want to read the transform info from /obj/foo.

I think it's something along the lines of

int                   test;
UT_Matrix4            mat;
OBJ_Node              *node;

***do something here that makes node be the one I'm interested in***
test = node->getWorldTransform(mat,context);

What I can't see is how to make node relate to the one already in the scene.

Well, wouldn't you have a node path? eg.

UT_String node_path( "/obj/model");
OP_Node *node;

node = OPgetDirector()->findNode( node_path );

// or if node_path might be relative:
OP_Node *cwd = OPgetDirector()->getCwd();
node = cwd->findNode( node_path );

Well I guess I would if I knew what I was doing

Haven't dealt with OP_Director methods yet.

Cheers.
