Apex - custom subnets / methods - export/import issue Jan. 8, 2025, 3:42 a.m.
This is exactly why we have the guidesource. You can store extra data on the guide skeleton and use it in your components.
Just remember to keep the guideskeleton up to date, as you add more controls you would want to save those new joints to the guides.
For that you will have to update the guideskeleton using the updateCharacterElements.
Here's a couple of options:
1- You can set the twist count as a detail attrib on the geo and then simply read the data from the
guides when you need it using detailAttribValue().
2- you can manipulate the rigscript using a apexscript node, I have added an example of connecting the subnets in the hip file.

Hi, if you have the apexgraph folder in your hip dir it will also pick it up. might be easier if you want to share the file to have your subgraphs there.

Im just using the snippet to write the component script. You can use the graph (editgraph) to do the same thing if you are more
comfortable doing it like that
