Looking for an embedded script (to force bone direction)

I can't find it on the forum anymore. Someone posted it somewhere... If anyone knows where I can find it (for ASP9), you'd help out a lot!


The embedded script looks for a bone you have to name 'Dangler' (I think), and it forces the direction to ALWAYS go down/right/whatever you set it to. So it counters all layer rotation/parent bone rotation.

Hope anyone knows who made it and where it is, I could use it right now.. Thanks!

Here is it:

I used this script before, but sometimes it presented problems.There is an alternative technique called "gravity star", created by super8mm. It's basically adding little bones with angle constraint -1 for each bone of the chain. So, if you have a chain of six bones, in the point you create six little bones "nullifying" the rotation of each one.

It takes a little more time to make, but works very well.

'gravity star' sounds interesting. Does any one have the example file the link is dead.?

Thanks guys :) This script saved me many HOURS of work. Or at least, it made animating super-easy instead of a pain in the ass.
