Read the post for explain about what the heck is going on on this image.[/i]

If you followed this tutorial,
https://roysforum.com/thread-730.html


you know that multiple scene file can be include to a room.
It should be noted that I same scene file can be include multiple time too.
Unfortunately, all the copy will be placed the same way.
So we need to use a little something else that will allow give a different position to each copy.
What should we use?
AppReplaceSkeleton

But first, let get back with the AppImportScene

Code:

AppImportScene . {[/color]
[color=#000000].NodeName "LightsHS" + :room;[/color]
[color=#000000].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/color]
[color=#000000].SceneFile "Shared/Room/lights01mod";[/color]
[color=#000000]};

We need to know that the .NodeName parameter of it, is the thing that allow to distinguish each AppImportScene from each other.
It somewhat like an Id...so if you give the same to all, you gonna run into problem.
Note that their are actually string and that the word with : at the start are variables.
:room = number of the room
:person = "01" (myself) or "02" (SexMate) or "03" (3SomeMate)
So if Im using the room 222 script,
"Room" + :room = "Room222"

So let get to the AppReplaceSkeleton

Code:

AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/color]
[color=#000000].SourcePath "/Lights" + :room + "/lights_group";[/color]
[color=#000000].SourceRootPath "/Lights" + :room;[/color]
[color=#000000].TargetPath "/LightsHS" + :room + "/lights_group";[/color]
[color=#000000].TargetRootPath "/LightsHS" + :room;[/color]
[color=#000000]};

The value can seem complex to understand, but it actually kinda easy.

So here the recipe:
/ + NodeName  of an AppImportScene + / + Object.Name from a node within the scene file bs
Remember, there are string.

So if you look more closely at the the two code provided, "/LightsHS" + :room + "/lights_group" (or "/LightsHS222/lights_group") simply point toward the node from the "Scene/Shared/Room/lights01mod" having Object.Name "lights_group";.
this precisely

Code:

TTransform :local_3 . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]TNode.SNode STransform :local_4;[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]TNode.Parent TTransform :local_1;[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]Object.Name "lights_group";[/i][/color]
[i][color=#000000]};

Ok, so know after this, you should wondering what is the purpose of the AppReplaceSkeleton?
Move...swap...replace..(call this the way you want.)
If you look at it, there is Source and there is Target.
The node connected to the node specified by the .SourcePath(within the same file) will be replaced by the the node connected to the node specified by the .TargetPath(within the same file)
More precisely, node having Object.Name that appear in both will cause the replacement.

A good example are dress and hair: they use this function to replace all bone writed in the their scene.bs by the one from the actor.

I just did a simple test using AppImportScene and AppReplaceSkeleton:
Including multiple copy of a same AddonToy into a room and giving different position to each copy. (somewhat like hook object)

So I writed some TTransform object that will contain the position of each copy into the a scene file(may be written directly into the room main scene file).

[i][color=#000000]STransform :local_SR9ZRoom222CarPosition_Scene Object.Name "SLuder/Room/R9ZRoom222/R9ZRoom222CarPosition.ma";

Then I include this scene file and all the copy the same addOntoy(multiple time to have dupplicate) into the AcRoom.

Code:

[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].NodeName "Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Luder/Room/R9ZRoom222/R9ZRoom222CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].NodeName "Room" + :room + "Car001";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Shared/Item/R9Toy302";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].NodeName "Room" + :room + "Car002";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Shared/Item/R9Toy302";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]

[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Shared/Item/R9Toy302";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].NodeName "Room" + :room + "Car004";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Shared/Item/R9Toy302";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]

[color=#000000][i].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Shared/Item/R9Toy302";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppImportScene . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].NodeName "Room" + :room + "Car006";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].ParentPath "/RoomRoot";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SceneFile "Shared/Item/R9Toy302";[/i][/color]
[i][color=#000000]};

Just need to add some AppReplaceSkeleton to replace the default position of the addOnToy by the one I created previously.

Code:

[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourcePath "/Room" + :room + "Car001/tool_group";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourceRootPath "/Room" + :room + "Car001";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition/CarPosition001";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetRootPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourcePath "/Room" + :room + "Car002/tool_group";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourceRootPath "/Room" + :room + "Car002";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition/CarPosition002";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetRootPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourcePath "/Room" + :room + "Car003/tool_group";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourceRootPath "/Room" + :room + "Car003";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition/CarPosition003";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetRootPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourcePath "/Room" + :room + "Car004/tool_group";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourceRootPath "/Room" + :room + "Car004";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition/CarPosition004";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetRootPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourcePath "/Room" + :room + "Car005/tool_group";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourceRootPath "/Room" + :room + "Car005";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition/CarPosition005";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetRootPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]};[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i]AppReplaceSkeleton . {[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourcePath "/Room" + :room + "Car006/tool_group";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].SourceRootPath "/Room" + :room + "Car006";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition/CarPosition006";[/i][/color]
[color=#000000][i].TargetRootPath "/Room" + :room + "CarPosition";[/i][/color]
[i][color=#000000]};

And voila!
By using one scene file having only one plane, a addOnToy containing only one car and a scene having only position node(no mesh)...
I ended up with a room having 6 car.
