Typo fix in PyConstraint template
|
|
Once again, I've recoded the constraints system. This time, the goals were:
* To make it more future-proof by 'modernising' the coding style. The long functions filled with switch statements, have given way to function-pointers with smaller functions for specific purposes.
* To make it support constraints which use multiple targets more readily that it did. In the past, it was assumed that constraints could only have at most one target.
As a result, a lot of code has been shuffled around, and modified. Also, the subversion number has been bumped up.
Known issues:
* PyConstraints, which were the main motivation for supporting multiple-targets, are currently broken. There are some bimport() error that keeps causing problems. I've also temporarily removed the doDriver support, although it may return in another form soon.
* Constraints BPy-API is currently has a few features which currently don't work yet
* Outliner currently only displays the names of the constraints instead of the fancy subtarget/target/constraint-name display it used to do. What gets displayed here needs further investigation, as the old way was certainly not that great (and is not compatible with the new system too)

bugs with pyconstraints, also added a missing decref from python (wasnt freeing the return value from the settings
button).

I've added the ability for PyConstraints to define a function (doDriver) that is able to directly modify values of the owner/target, so that certain setups can be created reliably. Users should take note that this is against the basic concept of what a constraint does, and that under no circumstances may they set the values of any variables controlling the transforms. For more details, check out the information in the PyConstraint template script.
I've also updated PyConstraints to be aware of geometry targets. The script template has been updated with this information.

Here is a script template for the "Script Templates" menu in the Text Editor. It provides you with the necessary functions for a PyConstraint set up, and also includes descriptions on what is required in each function.
