Error: Can't read "vx1": no such variable

Ushay

Hello all,

 

In a part of my script the vector coordinates are pulled for a later use. When I execute I have the following error message

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error: 
can't read 'vx1': no such variable
    while executing '*createvector 1 $vx1 $vy1 $vz1'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code: 

        *vectorcreate_twonode $x $y
        set vectorList [ hm_getmark vectors 1 ];
        foreach vct $vectorList {    
            set vx1 [ hm_getentityvalue vectors $vct 'xcomp' 0 ]
            set vy1 [ hm_getentityvalue vectors $vct 'ycomp' 0 ]
            set vz1 [ hm_getentityvalue vectors $vct 'zcomp' 0 ]
            return '{ $vx1 } { $vy1 } { $vz1 }'
        }
        *createmark nodes 1 $x
        *duplicatemark nodes 1 25
        set r [hm_entitymaxid nodes 1]
        *createvector 1 $vx1 $vy1 $vz1
        *translatemark nodes 1 1 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Would be great if someone could tell how to reference the coordinates vx1, vy1 and vz1 in the other parts of the code. 

 

Thanks in advance

You have a list of vectors but you want to translate it into one direction. The problem is that the variables are only valid within the for loop...

 

try this

 

 set vector [*vectorcreate_twonode 1 2]  set vx1 [ hm_getentityvalue vectors $vector 'xcomp' 0 ] set vy1 [ hm_getentityvalue vectors $vector 'ycomp' 0 ] set vz1 [ hm_getentityvalue vectors $vector 'zcomp' 0 ]  *createmark nodes 1 1 *duplicatemark nodes 1 25 set r [hm_entitymaxid nodes 1] *createvector 1 $vx1 $vy1 $vz1 *translatemark nodes 1 1 10

I changed the $x and $y that it works for me... also the createmark command after that...

 

Hope this helps

Hi Merula, thank you so much for the new code and it works perfectly.
