  • 1.  Scripting Bounding Box and Pivot Point

    Posted 07-09-2025 12:07

    Hello! I am attempting to create a script at a specific point on a scene director. Basically, I need to set the pivot point of a quad object to the leftmost point of the boundingbox of a text object. Then, at a certain frame, I need another script on the scene director to set the pivot point to the right part of the text object's bounding box. I am not super familiar with scripting personally, so any help would be much appreciated!

    Place these where you need them.

    Left 

    Dim obj As xpQuadObject
    dim xWidth as string
     
    scene.GetObjectByName("Quad1", obj)
     
    xWidth = obj.Width
     
    obj.PivotX = xWidth /2 * -1
    Right 
    Dim obj As xpQuadObject
    dim xWidth as string
     
    scene.GetObjectByName("Quad1", obj)
     
    xWidth = obj.Width
     
    obj.PivotX = xWidth /2
