1. modifier

-- operation (1): add a modifier: way 1

b = bend angle:45 direction:90

addModifier $box01 b

-- operation (2): add a modifier: way 2

addModifier $box01 (twist angle:90)

-- operation (3): get existing modifiers

$box01.bend

$box01.twist

-- operation (4): adjust bend modifier

$box01.bend.angle += 20

-- operation (5): get all modifires or one modifier for an object

$box01.modifiers -- #modifiers(TwistMod: Twist, ... )

for m in $box01.modifiers do pring m.name

-- top modifier

$box01.modifiers[1].angle = 45

-- bottome modifier

botMod = $box01.modifiers[$box01.modifiers.count]

-- index modifier by it's name

bendM = $box01.modifiers["Bend"]

 

2. most modifier parameters are animatable

-- 在小球进行转动的时候，长柱子向小球方向弯曲

addModifier $column (bend())

animate on

for t in 0 to 100 by 5 do

at time t

(

local dv = $ball.pos - $column.pos

$column.bend.angle = atan2 dv.z dv.x

$column.bend.direction = -(atan2 dv.y dv.x)

)
