How to create a file node by click a button

[evilbear]

Hi all:

I have a question,

Let's say I have a ROP OUTPUT DRIVER, I set up a button in it,

and I want the button to add a file node with correct file path which is the path form ROP OUTPUT DRIVER after click it,

what should I do? I'm new to Houdini scripting, so I have no idea where or how to write it.

Could somebody please show me how to do it?

Thank you.

If I understood correctly, you're trying to create a file node in a specified network path not on the file system.

If so, then there are 2 ways you can do this but you will need to get the path where you want to create the node.

In hscript:

opcf /obj/geo1 # parent path

opadd file myFile # command to create the node

In python:

myNode = hou.node("/obj/geo1") # parent path

myNode.createNode("file", "myFile") # command to create the node

Cheers,

Ron

You can do something like this in the callback field of the button.

file_sop = hou.pwd().parent().createNode("file"); file_sop.parm("file").set(hou.pwd().parm("sopoutput"))
