Attach Node To A Shape

[mayapower]

Hi,

I created a custom MpxNode of kObjectSet type. I can attach some shape nodes as members.

Now how do I access by using shape Node that this object set is attached to it?

One way is iterating all the set nodes and find out whether this shape node is member of this set node or not.

But this is kind of slow.

is there anything available in API?

Something in .message attribute?

a attribute on shape node that says i am connected to this set node. How?

Thanks

IIts connected to the set alright,

(trough inst obj groups amongst other things, thow its not llways clear whether you included the shape or the transform to the set in question, so be sure your set is attached to the shape in firstplace and not its transform)

easyest way to querry this is

ls("-et","objectSet", listConnections ("-s",0,"-d",1))

wich acts on the entire selection you can just append the node you need

ls("-et","objectSet", listConnections ("-s",0,"-d",1,$nodeName))

Replace object set with your type
