addToConstraintList

No

Adds base path to globals.constraintList at /root/world.

This is only needed for cases in which one constraint depends on another constraint already being evaluated. The globals.constraintList is used to specify the order of evaluation of constraints.

setRelativeTargets

No

Stores target paths in the scene graph constraint definition as paths relative to the base path.

Targets should still be specified as absolute paths in this node's parameters.
