way for a function to understand whether it's being run through a OnCreate callback or not
is there a way for a function to understand whether it's being run through a OnCreate callback or not? I have working functions that I want to recycle through the OnCreate but need to catch the nuke.thisNode() bit inside them so they can still function when called manually through other scripts functions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Your question lacks context. What's an OnCreate callback? Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You've given us almost *NO* clue what you are talking about. I suppose I could Google onCreate, and perhaps nuke and thisNode, and see what falls out. But why would I? If you want our help, *you* take the time to tell is what you are asking about.

I suppose you're programming for The Foundry's Nuke. Python is used in lots of different contexts, and most people on this list use Python for something totally unrelated to video. As an attempt at answering your question, you can add a parameter to your function that tells from where it's called. I.e. you put True in the parameter when it is called from OnCreate, False when it is not. But that isn't a very good design. A function should not need to care from where it is called. You probably want to have the node as a parameter to the function instead of calling nuke.thisNode inside of it. I can't find documentation for the OnCreate function online. Do you mean that you can only call nuke.thisNode() from inside OnCreate? Here's my guess of what I think you want to do: def OnCreate(): # call your function with the current node as argument your_function(nuke.thisNode()) def your_function(node): # The function takes a node as an argument. # Do whatever you want here For more Nuke-specific questions, you'd probably get better results by asking on the Nuke-python mailing list: http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python -- mar...@librador.com http://www.librador.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
