here´s another idea

float $vtxPosA1[1] = `xform -q -ws -t outputCloth1.vtx[159]`;
print $vtxPosA1;

-1779.823486
213.435852
-2118.266846


this seems to work fine



question:

how do I feed those values into a transform node with the help of an expression?

transformNode.translateX = $vtxPosA1; ??
transformNode.translateY = $vtxPosA1; ??
transformNode.translateZ = $vtxPosA1; ??



_____edit_____
oh man...

i just realised that I can´t use $scripts because I need an update at each frame of the animation.

so how do I feed transformNode with an expression?
there must be a very simple line of mel code for it. user added image


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
