mel script and math for honeycomb image sal2

mel script and math for honeycomb image sal2

Greetings all

I’m trying to adapt this mel script that was given to me to use hexagons
so when I deform it all the edges connect like this

I know it’s a problem with my math but I’m not sure how to fix it so all
the hexagons are connected when they are created with the mel script.
