How to triger a script when a specific attribute is keyed?

I searched for some events in the scriptJob help reference but nothing .Anyone has some ideas?

thanks

If you read the scriptJob mel command reference, you will see this example.....

CODE
        // create a sphere, but print a warning the next time it
        // is raised over 10 units high
        global proc warn(){
            float $height = getAttr mySphere.ty;
            if ( $height > 10.0 ){
                print ("Sphere is too high!\n");
            }//end if
        }// end proc
        sphere -n mySphere;
        scriptJob -attributeChange mySphere.ty warn;

No no not attribute change, but a setting a key.

pressing s you know

the user might not change the value and still key OR he can change the float which will cause a script to be executed for each small change

what i want is the user keys translateX of pCube1 for example and a script trigers then.

you can listen to the changes in the length of the kyframe data array.

Hi Jooja

Hmm, yeah that might work but not sure how to do it

For translateX for example the name of the animation curve is objectName_translateX

and when i open attribute editor you see array called keys

Things would be lot easier if this guy had attribute called length but no.So what event or condition should i use?

thanks a lot !!!

Anyone knows how to get that curve animation attribute's length ?

getAttr "pCube1_scaleZ.keys"
