Using fluxed geosets with fluxed attributes is usually not a good idea. You
can almost always get away with doing one or the other, but not need both.
I don't know about the index list question. I assume that fluxed attributes
are not supported if the geoset is indexed. Try doing non-indexed, or try
not fluxing the attributes, just flux the geoset.
In my experience, the engines are not useful. You can do a better job
yourself if they get in the way.

Subject: fluxed Geosets with flux index for fluxed vertex
Please say there is a way around this!
I created a class that has a fluxed GeoSet where the
vertex are a flux. Then I can define an engine that
will cause the geometry to bend or twist or...
Great! Now I want to allow the object to change
in complexity as well as deform. That is, I want
to change the vertex values, the vertex index, and
the number and type of primitive.
When I try to make the index a flux I get the message
PF Warning/Usage: pfGeoSet::setAttr() pfFlux index lists
not supported.
PF Warning/Usage: pfGeoSet::setAttr() pfFlux index lists
not supported.
PF Warning/Usage: pfGeoSet::setAttr() pfFlux index lists
not supported.
PF Warning/Usage: pfGeoSet::setAttr() pfFlux index lists
not supported.
So.. Any way around this for a GeoSet? Does
this mean I will have to define each face of
the geometry as some kind of ASD?
Any constructive advice is welcome. Thanks!
Dan
