# Freazypose0-10.py (Prototype 0.10)

# Test script for adding Ajax Easypose style ERC to a figure.

# 0.00: Adds a 'ConstantBend' dial to the current actor and slaves the 'zRotate' of every body part to this

# 0.01: Playing with 'AddValueOperation()'. If the 'AddValueOperation()' already exists it does NOT seem to create a duplicate (which is good),but ValueOperations().SetDelta() will change the delta (which is also good - sort of).

# 0.02: Added the main Ajax EP dials for the main (body) node as per B.L.Render book, p103. Did S-bend, spiral and wave for twist too since XYZ are used differently in Tetradactylus. Probably want user input so match ERC channels to dial. Could check main rotation dial names for 'bend', 'twist', and 'side'to do this automatically,but I'd still need user input if that fails.

# 0.03: Got the Bef/Aft dials working on each segment.

# 0.04: Playing with a way to automatically determine which x/y/z rotations are bend/twist/side. Decided to scrap this idea and just ask the user. But save the code first as 0.04

# 0.05: More or less there now.

# 0.06: Tidying up messages and cancellation logic. A bit.

#       I know that my 'Wave' dials cause the wavy bit to bend off-axis, whereas Ajax EasyPose keeps the wavy bit aligned along the longitudinal axis

# 0.07: Trying out a new word, 'return', de-indent-ifying, and shortening text to fit in dialogue boxes

# 0.08: Modified the calculation of Wave deltas to match Ajax original Easypose tube,which is ALMOST as per the book. Discovered that OCCASIONALLY Poser will create a NEW ValueOp, contradicting what I thought in 0.01. Using the -1 index to access the ValueOp I just added... weird how that SEEMED to work, even if a deltaAddDelta ValueOp with the relevant SourceParameter ALREADY existed. I'm fairly sure nowthat I needto check whether it already exists and, if it does, explicitly MODIFY the delta...

#       Added 'setValueOp()'to check whether a Value Op of the required thingy already exists,and based on this either modify the existing one or add anew one

#       Changed 'SSide..." to simply "Side..."

#       LOADSA DEBUG !!! All (non-calculated) deltas have a decimal part to identify which line of code wrote it-to help in debuggingwhat was overwriting the Wave2 stuff

# 0.09: Removed old code lines that were commented out while I tested their replacement 'setValueOp()', removed most of the debug, set modified delta values back to 1.0,and renamed all my dials to start with 'FP-'

# 0.10: Modified the delta values/calculations to match (a) the book and (b)the original Ajax EasyPose tube. Tested by adding my dials to an EPTube, setting an EP parameter to value N, and setting my corresponding FP dial to -N. My Spiral is still slightly out (slightly smaller values than Ajax EasyPose), and there's a difference in the S-Curves with the delta for the middle segment

# NOTES:

# - Master dials are in the parent of the first EP actor. I could put them in the BODY (p103), but if you want several EP chains in a figure?

# - The master dials use 'valueParm' so they won't be saved in poses. If I make them 'targetGeom' instead they will, provided you select 'include morphs' (bottom of p103)

# - p104 says the figure must have an IK chain encompassing the entire EP chain for all the Bef/Aft dials to work correctly.This doesn't appear to be true(I think I tried one of my saved test CR2s in Poser6 ?)

# - could use a different tiny incremental adjustment on the deltas, e.g. 1.00000123for twist, 1.00000456 for bends, 1.00000789 for sides to make global edits to the CR2. But it's probably easier to simply rerun this script - as long as I provide a way to specify the deltas, which I don't.

# I'm not using anti-crosstalk prefixes, since crosstalk was (I believe?) a pre Poser 6 problem.
