Manual node transform doesn't update RESOLVED

Hi All,

I would like to achieve my own C++ class which controls the transforms of the Shape nodes by manual script and not by animation, and I have a serious problem to do that so I need a help.

So I have loaded some StaticShapes and I put them into SimSet.

Script parts

//Datablock
datablock StaticShapeData(AnimatedKnight)  
{  
   category = "Knights"; // Your object will show up in the mission editor under "shapes/Misc"  
   className = "AnimatedShapes"; // Give this a discriptive name   
   //shapeFile = "art/shapes/Knight/Knight2.DAE"; //Path to your object  
   shapeFile = "art/shapes/actors/Soldier/soldier_rigged.DAE";
   isPlaying = 0;  // Well....you want it to play don't you?? "0" = false  
};  


//Load Models

function LoadModels($numShape)
{

if ($numShape == 0) 
{
echo ("You have to specify at least 1 number of model");
}
else
{
	$MySet = new SimSet(MyShapes);
	
	for (%objIndex = 0; %objIndex < $numShape; %objIndex++)
		{
			
			%object = new StaticShape(Knight@%objIndex)  
				{  
				dataBlock = AnimatedKnight;
				position = ""@%objIndex + (%objIndex + 0.5) @ " 0.0 0.0";
				rotation = "0 0 1 180";
				};    
				
			MissionCleanup.add(%object);
			$MySet.add(%object);
		}
		
		%client = LocalClientConnection;
		if ($numShape == 1)
		{
		%client.camera.setOrbitObject((Knight@($numShape-1)).getID(),""@mDegToRad(30) @" 0 0 ", 1, 5, 1.5);	
		}
		else
		{
		%client.camera.setOrbitObject((Knight@(mCeil($numShape/2)-1)).getID(),""@mDegToRad(30) @" 0 0 ", 1, 5, 1.5);	
		}
		
		
		
}
   
  
}



/Here I have call a function and pass to the my C++ function.

function HandleModels()
{
Handle_Models(MyShapes);
}

C++ part

DefineEngineFunction(Handle_Models,void,(SimSet* ShapeArray),,"")
{
	
		
	if ( ShapeArray->size() == 0 )
 {
	 Con::warnf("No shape can be found in the SimSet");  
 }
 else
 {
		
	for(SimSetIterator itr(ShapeArray); *itr; itr++)
	{
		
		ShapeBase *ShapeObj = dynamic_cast<ShapeBase*>(*itr);

		S32 Bone_Count = ShapeObj->getShape()->nodes.size();

			Con::printf("--------------------------------");
			Con::printf("Shape Name: " "%s",ShapeObj->getName());
			Con::printf("Joint count: %i",Bone_Count);
			Con::printf("--------------------------------");
			

	 	 //Write each Joint name to the console
		for (int j = 0; j < Bone_Count; j++)
		{
		  if ( ShapeObj->getShape()->nodes[j].parentIndex != -1)
		  {
	      const char *bname =ShapeObj->getShape()->getNodeName(j);
		  Con::printf("Bone Index: " "%i " "Bone Name: " "%s",j,bname);
		  //Set the nodes anumation state to hands off
		  ShapeObj->getShapeInstance()->setNodeAnimationState(j,TSShapeInstance::MaskNodeHandsOff);
			
			//do some change on the nodes
		  MatrixF mat;

		  mat.set(EulerF(0.2*j*10,0.1*j*20,0));
			
		  ShapeObj->getShapeInstance()->mNodeTransforms[j].mul(mat);

			ShapeObj->getShapeInstance()->setDirty(TSShapeInstance::TransformDirty);
			ShapeObj->getShapeInstance()->animate();
			
			
		 }
		}
						
		Idx++;
	  }	
  }

So the everything works fine until this point except after I change the nodetransforms and set the them to dirty and animate them, nothing happened.

I have dumped the transform matrixs and it seems to change all the time, but the shape doesn't move.

I have a feeling I'm animating the sub instance of the shape or I'm animating on server side and this is the reason why I don't see any update.

I have read all the post in regards animaton and node transform, but it didn't help.

Also I have dumped the player class and shape editor class, but I have no idea why doesn't work mine.

Do you have any idea what can be the problem and the solution?
