The Reset Position script
Some elements of the main Cinema 4D application there're missing from Cinema 4D light, but often you can write a script to take place of that missing feature. And that's what we're going to do here. We're going to write a script which will reset the position values of an object. We're in Chapter07_02.c4d and if you want to follow along, you can open that. Here i have my main robot and he consists of various different body parts linked together using a structure. parenting And we also have a relief object in here and you'll notice that if i select the hips and move them, the relief object isn't moving with them because its a separate item. Also, I don't really want to have to select the hips to move the body around. I want the controller for the hips, and all the different body parts, and also the relief object. So, I'm going to create a new Null, and I'm going to call it main robot. And that's going to be the controller for this robot. So, we'll call it main robot. So, one way of…
