getting object global transform from emit location?

[Sam Cuttriss]

a little thing that crops up all the time.

im trying to get the global transform matrix of an object via the emit location of the particles?

i can get it by pluging it in obviously, but if i have a group or something it would be nice to access what i guess would be termed location > object.referenceframe

I dont seem to be able to get the objects position like this either:

location > kine.global.pos  

location > polymsh.kine.global.pos  

any ideas would be great.

Not completely automated, but...

Use an ICE tree to store the global transform matrix as a custom ICE tree on each object. Use a script to add the tree to each object in the group, and rerun the script if you add objects to the group.

Sounds intressting.

Got a little Try and a very small sucess.

Use the Node-Location (wish seems to be something like the EmitPosition in EmitGeometrys-LocalSpace) and Subtrackt this from EmitLocationsPoition to get the Translation of the EmitGeo.

(Works only if emitGeo got only Translation and no Rotation or Scaling)
