Thanks Justin, I'm sorry but I don't get it :( Internal state of a class,
that sounds super advanced, have no idea what that means :S
I've uploaded the code I'm working on btw: http://pastebin.com/nz9EDTmM
import pymel.core as pm
class TestRigUI(object):
def __init__(self):
self.winName = 'testRiggerWin'
self.winTitle = 'Test Rigger'
#Delete window if it exists
def deleteExisting(self):
if pm.window(self.winName, exists=True):
pm.deleteUI(self.winName, window=True)
#Set preferences of window
def setWindowPrefs(self, **prefs):
if pm.windowPref(self.winName, exists=False):
pm.windowPref(self.winName)
pm.windowPref(self.winName, edit=True, **prefs)
#Build the elements in the window
def populateGui(self):
#Build the tab for building the template
with pm.frameLayout(l='Build Template', mw=5, mh=5, bs='out') as
frame:
with pm.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True):
#Create the button to build the template
pm.button(label='Build The Template',
command='TestRig().buildTemplate()')
#Build the tab for building the rig
with pm.frameLayout(l='Build Rig', mw=5, mh=5, bs='out') as frame:
with pm.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True):
#Create the button to build the rig
pm.button(label='Build The Rig',
command='TestRig().buildRig()')
#Build the actual window
def buildGUI(self):
#Call the method to delete the window if it already exists
self.deleteExisting()
#Call the method to set the window-preferences
self.setWindowPrefs(width=300, height=100)
#Add the window content
with pm.window(self.winName, title=self.winTitle, sizeable=True):
with pm.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True):
gui = self.populateGui()
class TestRig(object):
def buildTemplate(self):
#Create the template locators
lLeg = pm.spaceLocator(name='l_leg_loc')
lKnee = pm.spaceLocator(name='l_knee_loc')
lFoot = pm.spaceLocator(name='l_foot_loc')
rLeg = pm.spaceLocator(name='r_leg_loc')
rKnee = pm.spaceLocator(name='r_knee_loc')
rFoot = pm.spaceLocator(name='r_foot_loc')
#here goes some code
print 'now place the locators'
def buildRig(self):
#Somehow get the name of the locators created
#then do awesome stuff
print 'i need the naaames'
TestRigUI().buildGUI()
