pymel.core.animation.percent

static animation.percent(*args, **kwargs)

This command sets percent values on members of a weighted node such as a cluster or a jointCluster. With no flags specified the command sets the percent value for selected components of the specified node to the specified percent value. A dropoff from the specified percent value to 0 can be specifed from a point, plane or curve using a dropoff distance around that shape. The percent value can also be added or multiplied with existing percent values of the node components. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
addPercent (ap) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Add the percent value specified with the -v flag to the existing percent values
dropoffAxis (dax) float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the axis along which to dropoff the percent value, starting from the dropoffPosition.
dropoffCurve (dc) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the curve around which to dropoff the percent value.
dropoffDistance (dds) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the dropoff distance from the point, plane or curve that was specified using the -dp -dax or -dc flags.
dropoffPosition (dp) float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the point around which to dropoff the percent value.
dropoffType (dt) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Specifies the type of dropoff. Used in conjunction with the -dp, -dax or -dc flags. Default is linear. Valid values are: linear, sine, exponential, linearSquared, none.

multiplyPercent (mp) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Multiply the percent value specified with the -v flag with existing percent values Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

value (v) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
The percent value to be applied. The default is 1. In query mode, returns an array of doubles corresponding to the weights of the selected object components.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.percent

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# set percents on the selected items to 0.6
#
pm.percent( 'cluster1', v=0.6 )

# set percents on the selected items dropping off along the
# z-axis starting at the origin. Dropoff distance is 5, and
# the initial value is 1. Dropoff type is linear.
#
pm.percent( 'cluster1', dp=(0, 0, 0), dax=(0, 0, 1), dt='linear', dds=5, v=1 )

# set percents on the selected items dropping off along
# curve1. Dropoff distance is 5, and
# the initial value is 0.3.
#
pm.percent( 'cluster2', dc='curve2', dds=3, v=0.3 )

# add 0.1 to the percents of the selected items
#
pm.percent( 'cluster1', v=0.1, ap=True )
