[Solved] Deleting a follower by script

meipe

I'm writing a script to quickly remove some followers from a figure.

So I iterate all nodes from the root, and check their label to find the one to delete.

I was wondering what's the best way to delete the node... do I have to use removeNodeChild (DzNode child, Boolean inPlace=false) /removeAllNodeChildren () or is there another way? I believe removeNodeChild only unparents the node?

You don't even have to unparent the node if you wanna delete it.

Use the Scene.removeNode(DzNode) method,

in your case Scene.removeNode(oNodeToBeDeleted)

I have writen the next script to delete many copies of an item, attached to a figure. Use it as you want. It is well commented.

I used it when I made my Rock Jewelry products. When I tried the rings on the figure (1 to each finger), I ended up with a Genesis with 10 copies of the same ring, so I wrote the next script to easily remove them.
