Hello CreativeCrash community, I've run into a bit of a problem in Python which i've been strugging for days (because i'm a newb who still has much to learn). I'm trying to make a UI that can list the meshes and shaders in a scene and connect the two selected from that list by using a button. The UI "LOOKS" functional but the connect button isn't doing what i want it to do T_T.
import maya.cmds as cmds
def GUI():
winName="myWindow"
if ( cmds.window(winName,exists=True)):
cmds.deleteUI(winName)
cmds.window(winName,title='mesh/shader connector',w=200,h=500)
cmds.window(winName,q=True,wh=True)
cmds.rowLayout("obj,shd",nc=2,w=200,h=200)
cmds.columnLayout( adj=True, columnAttach=('left', 5), rowSpacing=10, columnWidth=250 )
cmds.textScrollList('obj')
cmds.textScrollList('shd')
cmds.textFieldButtonGrp('obj',bl='Import Object', text='Select Object',ed=False, bc='selMultipleObjects()')
cmds.textFieldButtonGrp('shd',bl='Refresh Shaders', text='Refresh Shaders',ed=False, bc='shadeGrps()')
cmds.button('Connect()',l='Connect')
cmds.showWindow()
GUI()
def selObjName():
sel=cmds.ls(sl=True)[0]
cmds.textFieldButtonGrp('obj',e=True,text=sel)
def selMultipleObjects():
sel=cmds.ls(sl=True)
cmds.textScrollList('obj',e=True,ra=True)
cmds.textScrollList('obj',e=True,numberOfRows=len(sel)+10, allowMultiSelection=True,
append=sel)
def shadeGrps():
Shader=cmds.ls(mat=True)
cmds.textScrollList('shd',e=True,ra=True)
cmds.textScrollList('shd',e=True,numberOfRows=10,append=Shader)
def Connect():
cmds.shadingConnection( 'shd', e=True, cs=0 )
cmds.shadingConnection( 'obj', q=True, cs=True )
If anyone has any idea's, tips, hints, solutions, chocolate chip cookies, anything that can help, I would deeply appreciate it!
