I'm working on a joint locking tool for weight painting.
It includes a UI which permits the user to type the names of the
joints into a textfield or to create a list from a selection via a
button.
If a list is created via a button, I update the text field to list the
selected joints.
This allow the user to update the selection via keyboard while they
are working.
I convert the list of joints to their names, separated by spaces,
before placing them into the textfield:
numJnts = len(tmpJnts2Unlock)
count = 1
for jnt in tmpJnts2Unlock:
if count < numJnts:
print ('if add jnt')
tmpJntList += jnt.name() + ' '
else:
print ('else add jnt')
tmpJntList += jnt.name()
count += 1
textField('jnt2Unlock', e = 1, text = tmpJntList)
So far, so good.
When its time to unlock the joints, I retrieve the list from the
textfield, and at that point I can no longer access the attributes via
PyMEL
tmpJnts2UnlockString = textField('jnt2Unlock', query=True, text =
True )
tmpJnts2Unlock = tmpJnts2UnlockString.split(' ')
for jnt in tmpJnts2Unlock:
if jnt.hasAttr('liw'):
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'hasAttr' #
or
print tmpJnts2Unlock[0].name()
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'name' #
If I use maya.cmds, it works:
if (cmds.attributeQuery( 'liw', node=jnt, exists = 1 ) ):
cmds.setAttr (jnt + '.liw', 0)
Anyone know the fix?
Thanks much.
