Sets or returns a Boolean value indicating whether or not the specified fcurve key
constraint is set. The siFCurveKeyConstraint values are of type Long (see
siFCurveKeyConstraint for a list of possible values).
Warning: Getting and setting this property in Python is not supported. To set a specific constraint
in Python, use the "Set" prefix with method syntax: 'fcrvkey.SetConstraint( c.siLockConstraint, true )'.
This is demonstrated in the Python example below. To get a specific constraint, use the Python-compliant
method FCurveKey.GetConstraint2 instead.
// get accessor Boolean FCurveKey.get_Constraint( siFCurveKeyConstraint in_eConstraint ); // set accessor FCurveKey.set_Constraint( siFCurveKeyConstraint in_eConstraint, Boolean out_pVal ); |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Constraint | siFCurveKeyConstraint |
The type of fcurve key constraint to set or return. You can add these values
together to specify several constraints at once.
For example, use siParameterConstraint + siSameLengthTangentConstraint to lock all parameters and force left and right tangent lengths to be the same. |
