Hi all, I need some help with this function of mine.
Suppose I have the following hierarchy as seen in the attachment.
Assuming that everything in that attachment is of custom nodes (I used
locators, groups etc. for easy visual, i hope)
and I am trying to grab the Root Node in which its type is 'stkLevel'.
I am trying to fulfill a few conditions:
1. User can select either the Root Node or the pCube#
2. If User selects nothing in the scene, it will prompts a warning
3. If User selects more than 2 Root Node, it will prompts a warning
4. If User selects 1 or more 'pCube#', it will return the Root Node
within the hierarchy
5. Ultimately, this function must return the full path of the Root Node
def get_stkLevel():
sel = cmds.ls(selection=True, l=True)
if len(sel) == 0:
cmds.warning("Please select something")
stkLevel_node = cmds.ls(sel, type = "stkLevel")
if len(sel) > 1:
if stkLevel_node:
cmds.warning("Please select a valid stkLevel node")
else:
root_list = []
for item in sel:
root_node = item.split('|')[1]
if root_node not in root_list:
root_list.append(root_node)
return cmds.ls(root_list, l=True)[0]
else:
return stkLevel_node[0]
I got the issue, where if I select only 1 pCube#, and it returns nothing,
though it seems to be working if I only select 1 Root Node
While that is one of the issue, can someone kindly guide me if I am writing
my code correctly?
I asked this because first I am still not that great of a scripter and I
feel that I am forcing my way through while following those conditions
