percent is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
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.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
-value(-v) |
float |
  |
|
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. |
|
-dropoffPosition(-dp) |
linear linear linear |
|
|
Specifies the point around which to dropoff the percent
value. |
|
-dropoffAxis(-dax) |
linear linear linear |
|
|
Specifies the axis along which to dropoff the percent value,
starting from the dropoffPosition. |
|
-dropoffCurve(-dc) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the curve around which to dropoff the percent
value. |
|
-dropoffDistance(-dds) |
linear |
|
|
Specifies the dropoff distance from the point, plane or curve
that was specified using the -dp -dax or -dc flags. |
|
-dropoffType(-dt) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-addPercent(-ap) |
|
|
|
Add the percent value specified with the -v flag to the
existing percent values |
|
-multiplyPercent(-mp) |
|
|
|
Multiply the percent value specified with the -v flag with
existing percent values |
