dropoffLocator(
<envelope> <percent> <wire node name> [curve point(s)]
)
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
dropoffLocator is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command adds one or more dropoff locators to a wire curve, one for each selected curve point. The dropoff locators can be used to provide localized tuning of the wire deformation about the curve point.import maya.cmds as cmds
# create a wire deformer
#
cmds.polyPlane(w=24,h=24,sx=20,sy=20)
cmds.curve(d=3,p=[(-10, 0, 0),(-6, 0, 10),(-3, 0, -10),(10, 0, 0)],k=[0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1])
cmds.select('pPlane1')
cmds.wire(w='curve1')
# add a locator at curve point 0.5, with envelope 2 and percent 1
#
cmds.select( 'curve1.u[0.5]', r=True )
cmds.dropoffLocator( 2.0, 1.0, 'wire1' )
