How to get new animCurve name

[highend3djojan-]

Hi,

Created animCurve node by using setDrivenKeyframe command. It returns
only the number of keyframes set. But I need the name of newly created
animCurve node. Is there a simpler way to get this name, other than by
making use of some listConnections commands?

[thnkr]

listConnections setDrivenKeyframe -q -driven

does the job

No sir.
Suppose i created 3 keys from 'c.tx' to 'b.ry' like:

setDrivenKeyframe -cd c.tx -dv 0 -v 0 b.ry;
setDrivenKeyframe -cd c.tx -dv 90 -v 90 b.ry;
setDrivenKeyframe -cd c.tx -dv -90 -v -90 b.ry;
(Dint chk in maya; Neglect errors if any!)

Now i need the name of animCurve node (may be something like 'b_ry' or 'animCurveUA1') connecting 'c.tx' and 'b.ry'. How can i get this? I ve written a general procedure of a dozen lines to find it using 'listConnections', skipping blendWeighted and unitConversion nodes. My Qn is: is there any simpler method - say 1 or 2 line code - to find the name of animCurve node connecting 'c.tx' and 'b.ry' ?

$sourcePlug=connectionInfo -sourceFromDestination c.tx;
$sourceNode=match("[^.]*",$sourcePlug);

Read docs on connection info, you should chek the node actually is anim curve. But yes for more complex traversal ther is no simple ways to do this.

hmm.. it seems correct. thnq Joojaa.
