python commands with flags

[Deleted]

I've set up some mel script to streamline action creation, but it's still rough because the miArmy functions require gui interactions. I wish I could specify stuff in the code.

Take for example the command McdCreateActionCmd()

It works fine to run, but asks a bunch of stuff which can all be specified in the function call
name, setup, agent speed, playback, cycle stuff, and confirmation.

And McdParseRootBoneCreateOAgent(0) gives a gui with only one unnecessary button.

Let's streamline!

Hello Kleer:)

You may didn't know there is already have this command:

If you're familiar with Python command, please check this one:

...\Basefount\Miarmy\maya\scripts
McdPipelineCommands.py

And inside there is a command:

def McdCreateActionNode(inActionName = "",......, isFinal = 0):

It's dedicated for your action creation~

Cheers!

Cool!

This one "McdSelectMcdGlobal" does not have any option to turn off the confirm button though. I commented it out in my local copy of the code. Maybe an option to turn it off would be nice. I don't think it should have any confirmation anyway. We can see the nodes it has made.

and McdParseRootBoneCreateOAgent has a hard coded option box of fine tuning the agent bone orientation.

So, any mandatory confirmation box (when everything is okay, as opposed to a valid pipeline stopping error) is making it harder for me to streamline my agent action creation.

OK Kleer,

I modified this:


And then next upgrade, you can directly use:
McdSelectMcdGlobal(False)

Cheers!
