Say you create a sphere with it's origin at the center of the sphere 

BUT the created sphere stands on the ground plane. 

In the parameters tab you can see that its Local Coordinates are 0,0,0, 

so you now have to compute the negative Y-Offset to bring its center to 0,0,0. 

ex: the sphere diameter was 100 meters so you have to move the sphere (manually !!!) down 5000 centimeters ( not 500, not 50000 ). 

But since you installed mcjGoTo000.dsa, 

instead you select the sphere 

and run mcjGoTo000 

and bam it's centered at 0,0,0. 

I even added an Undo, so thoughtful, so thoughtful.

 

//mcjVoyageToTheCenterOfTheWorld by mCasualJacques
appName = "mcjGoto[0,0,0]";
node = Scene.getPrimarySelection();
if( node )
{
beginUndo();
node.setWSPos( DzVec3( 0, 0, 0 ) );
acceptUndo( appName );
}

Very thoughtful and useful script. Thank you!

I agree, very useful script! Thank you so much!!!

Not that I am not being greedy... 

But how hard would it be to create a script where you would...

1) Click a node in the Scene tab
2) Click mCasual's "come-to-papa" script
3) Then Click something in the library OR another node in the scene tab and come-to-papa would place that item/character/prop at the same location 

That way if I wanted to put a bunch of stuff on a table, I could just place the table, and then dump a bunch of stuff on it.  Of course, I would have to arrange the stuff that was dumped, but getting it near the table would be 93.7% of the battle.

Feasible?

There's mcjParent (which i use very often) you select 2 nodes and you can send one of the 2 to the other it can also copy the rotations optionally and parent one to the other also optionally. It can do it for the current frame or all the playrange

excellent complement of the great come-here script, very appreciated, thanks a lot ^^

 I quickly wrote mcjSelectedGotoLastSelected a minute ago

I'll post it in its own forum thread, in case it evolves ( a.k.a. gets complicated )

so you select all your loaded props copies or instances, the last selected node position is the target position

Ahh shoot!  I think mcjCome-to-Papa would have been a great name!

 

Regardless, Thank-you!

Thank you!

mCasual

or mcjComeToJesus would've been a good click-bait name

vaguely related render including the word 'come'
