Setting path vertices using scripting
I’d like to spawn shape objects with small variations in the shape vertex positions.
I seem to be able to get a handle to a shape’s vertices but not sure how to set the values for individual vertices.
Can anyone offer suggestions??
shapeLayerContents=nodeLayer.property(2);
shape.property(2).property(1)
pathVerticies=shape.property(2).value.vertices
verticiesCount=pathVerticies.length
for(var i = 0 ; i < verticiesCount;i++){
v=pathVerticies[I]
pathVerticies[0]=[10,10]
}
Thanks
Andy

This example shows how you could add [10,10] to each vertex of a shape path:
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.layer(1);
var myPathObject = myLayer.property("Contents").property("Shape 1").property("Contents").property("Path 1").property("Path");
var myPath = myPathObject.value;
var myVertices = myPath.vertices;
var v;
for (var i = 0; i < myVertices.length; i++){
v = myVertices[i];
myVertices[i] = [v[0] + 10, v[1] + 10];
}
myPath.vertices = myVertices;
myPathObject.setValue(myPath); -
Thanks, Dan so much.
Using the property names is very helpful to see the object hierarchy.
Cheers
Andy
