EuniceC Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hi, I'm using Houdini 16 on windows 10. I have been trying to find the Houdini console on the interface but have failed to do so. I'm not sure if I'm looking for the correct thing either. Basically, I want to look at the code it outputs whenever I do anything on the interface. I want to learn the scripts for future references. If anyone can enlighten me on how to open up the Houdini console, that would be great. Note: I'm not looking to open up the Houdini Script Editor where I type my own script. I want to see Houdini's existing codes. Thanks Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) The console is just a log rolling by. Mostly error/warnings . There is no "code" produced by the log, say like in Maya/Blender where tool and interface commands are echoed. But you can force the console to appear by putting a print statement in a python node. To examine what a shelf tool does just right-click on it choose Edit Tool and look at the Script or Code tab. Not all tools will have full code, but many do.

Cyzor Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 You can also type 'commandecho on' in the Textport to log operations as they occur in the node network. https://houdinitricks.com/echo-hscript-commands-houdini/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuniceC Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks! That helped a lot!! It's a shame that Houdini doesn't have the commands like Maya does but I guess the Edit Tool and commandecho works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
