The following VBScript example compares Output Arguments and Output Argument Arrays and how they differ:
GetPrim "Null" ' Save some keys on the X position of the Null object SaveKey "Null.kine.local.posx", 1, -5.0 SaveKey "Null.kine.local.posx", 25, 7.0 SaveKey "Null.kine.local.posx", 50, 2.0 ' Get the FCurve animation source set source = GetSource( "Null.kine.local.posx", siFCurveSource ) set fcurve = source(0) ' First the get the FCurve info using output arguments GetFCurveInfo fcurve, crvtype, nokeyval, keys, extrap, seq, lowclamp, highclamp ' Then get the FCurve info using an output argument array set oIVTColl = GetFCurveInfo( fcurve ) logmessage "Number of arguments available in the collection: " & oIVTColl.count ' Then compare the results of both logmessage "CurveKind: " & oIVTColl( "CurveKind" ) & " = " & crvtype logmessage "ValueWhenNoKey: " & oIVTColl( "ValueWhenNoKey" ) & " = " & nokeyval logmessage "NbKeys: " & oIVTColl( "NbKeys" ) & " = " & keys logmessage "ExtrapolationKind: "& oIVTColl( "ExtrapolationKind" ) & " = " & extrap logmessage "DefaultSegKind: " & oIVTColl( "DefaultSegKind" ) & " = " & se logmessage "LowClamp: " & oIVTColl( "LowClamp" ) & " = " & lowclamp logmessage "HighClamp: " & oIVTColl( "HighClamp" ) & " = " & highclamp ' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Output of above script: 'INFO : "Number of arguments available in the collection: 7" 'INFO : "CurveKind: 20 = 20" 'INFO : "ValueWhenNoKey: -5 = -5" 'INFO : "NbKeys: 3 = 3" 'INFO : "ExtrapolationKind: 1 = 1" 'INFO : "DefaultSegKind: 3 = 3" 'INFO : "LowClamp: -1.79769313486232E+308 = -1.79769313486232E+308" 'INFO : "HighClamp: 1.79769313486232E+308 = 1.79769313486232E+308"
The GetFCurveInfo command specifically uses output arguments. This comparison would not be possible, for example, with the CreateToolbar command, which only uses one return value and no output arguments.
