 I don't think you can even copy the text, have Maya crash, and then paste

 you!

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: importing geometry caches issue

[river bell]

Hi, Luke

Embarrassing as it may be, it turned out to be a double and a single
backslash problem.

My path had double backslash, in the peice of code I was trying inside
Maya. In my batch it was handled by os.path.normpath and join  functions.

Thanks
Warm regards

So it looks like 2018.1 has potentially fixed this. I've not yet tried the

[Maya-Python] Re: What am I missing here.

[Simon Anderson]

Hey, the only thing that looks a bit suspect to me is the way you are 
setting a variable that is outside of the method. The scope of the variable 
may be incorrect.

Can I suggest that if everything runs correctly in your makestairs() then 
you return True, and then check against the returned variable. Bit nicer 
then passing values to and from different method scopes.

if stairs >= 1:
checkTest = makestairs()

if checkTest: 
distributeStairs()


Also noticed that you are setting checkTest over a hundred times as you 
have it running in the loop, maybe move it out of the loop. So that it only 
gets run once all the stairs are built. I would also recommend passing 
values into a method, instead of just accessing them from a different 
scope, this can result in bugs, and it a bit ugly.

def makestairs(staris)
# code here

def distributeStairs(stairs):
 # code here

if checkTest: 
distributeStairs(stairs)

I hope that helps

Re: [Maya-Python] recover scripting work after a crash ?

[Michael Boon]

If you're doing something you suspect might crash Maya, you can save the 
Script Editor without closing Maya, like this:
# Save contents of Script Editor
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mel
cmds.savePrefs(general=True) # This saves tab names, among other stuff.
mel.eval('syncExecuterBackupFiles') # This saves tab contents.

[Maya-Python] What am I missing here.

[jettam]

I am trying to write a function that will first make a spiral staircase, 
and then distribute the staircase randomly.  I can get this script to 
generate only one spiral staircase, but it stops there. I can't get it to 
duplicate and distribute multiples of these. I have attached a logic path 
that I think the script should follow A,B,C,D (see attached image) Am I 
missing something ? 




Here is the code:
import maya.cmds as mc
import random

def distributeObjects(stairs=None):
''' This will make and randomly distribute a spiralStaircase '''

checkTest = 0

def makestairs():
''' first make one spiral staircase '''
# make a dictionary
steps = {'name':'Step','slide':5,'rotations':10,'spacing':1,
'stepDepth':2,'stepHeight':.75} 
stepName=steps.get('name')
# make masterGroup
groupAllSteps = mc.group(name="Group"+stepName+"s", empty=True)
for x in range (0,100):  
#make stairs
# make step
stepObj = mc.polyCube(name=stepName+"#", w=5, h=steps.get(
'stepHeight'), d=steps.get('stepDepth'), ch=0)
# make group
stepGrp = mc.group(empty=True, name=stepName+'_Grp#')
# parent stepObj to stepGrp
mc.parent(stepObj, stepGrp)
# rotate stepGrp
mc.xform(stepGrp, ro=(0,(steps.get('rotations')*x),0))
# transform stepObj
mc.xform(stepObj[0], t=(steps.get('slide'),steps.get(
'stepHeight')*steps.get('spacing')*x,0))
# parent stepObj to masterGroup 
mc.parent(stepObj, groupAllSteps)
# delete stepGrp
mc.delete(stepGrp)
checkTest = 1

def distributeStairs():
''' duplicate the pre-made spiral staircase X amount of times, and 
randomly distribute them '''
for i in range (stairs): 
trX = random.uniform(-30,30)
trY = random.uniform(-30,30)
trZ = random.uniform(-30,30)
newGroup = mc.duplicate(GroupSteps,name=GroupSteps+i)
mc.setAttr(newGroup+".translate",trX,trY,trZ,type='double3')

if stairs >= 1:
makestairs()

if checkTest == 1: 
distributeStairs()


distributeObjects(3)

Re: [Maya-Python] Could someone help me solve this error

[Neil Roche]

Also, is there a reason why you are using the dictionary steps for all your 
values?  It's hardcoded so you can't change any of the values, so if you 
wanted a variation you would have to rewrite the code.

You could try using keyword arguments in your function makeSpiralStairs(), 
for example makeSpiralStairs(name = 'Step', slide = 5, rotations = 10, 
spacing = 1, stepDepth = 2, stepHeight = 0.75 ), delete the line with the 
dictionary steps and just replace steps.get() with the relevant keyword, 
e.g steps.get('name') change to name.

It won't affect your code as you can still run makeSpiralStairs() on line 
74 as it will take your keyword argument default values.

Re: [Maya-Python] recover scripting work after a crash ?

[Simon Payne]

This is not entirely true. Your script editor remp files are stored in 
[usr]/docs/maya/maya-20xx/prefs/scrptEditorTemp/
The files can be openned in any text editor. Sometimes, because of multi 
sessions of maya at the same time or re-installs, the scripts you were working 
on can be found in there even though they do not auto load into maya's script 
editor.

Also, in your [usr]/windows/temp dir you can often recover script temp files 
from there that are not in your scriptEditorTemp dir or were not commited by 
saving prefs or clising/opening mayas script editor following a crash.

Re: [Maya-Python] recover scripting work after a crash ?
