Revert To Defaults

[deecue]

hi all, is there a hscript command that reverts all parms back to their defaults.. much like you would expect under the presets drop down menu under the top tow bar in the parameters pane..

i searched all over for this but can't find anything on it.. so for now i just have a bunch of opparm's set to their default values..

If you are using a HDA sometimes you can get away with source the creating script.....

Like....

#remove all the keyframes
chkeyrm *
#source the creationscript
source opdef:/Object/myHda?CreationScript $op

But I agree...there should be some sort of revert to default hscript command

I'd swing over to the SESI forum and RFE it there Who knows, it might be easy enough to sneak in for the 8.0 release?

PS. interesting solution, Wolfwood - ne'er thought of that approach.

this was for an hda so sourcing the creation script works out well.. nice idea.. i basically had a bunch of presets accessible through a drop down menu and loaded them from a callback script.. but i wanted each preset to return to default before setting it's own parms..

but i'll def go RFE this over at sesi now..

thanks guys..

Just whipped this up so it isn't exactly throughly tested yet. Let me know how

you get on.

Copy it to your ../houdiniX.X/scripts folder and name it "reset.cmd". Run it

in a textport by typing reset.cmd followed by the full path to the node to be

reset (easiest way to do that is to select the node and drag it onto the textport).

# reset.cmd   -   Reset a node to its defaults

set node = $arg1

if (`opexist("$node")` == 0)
        echo "Node not found: $node"
        exit
endif

# Remove keyframes
chrm ${node}/*

# Remember the current path and switch to the network containing the node
set savePath = `oppwf()`
opcf `opfullpath ("${node}/..")`

# Reset parameters to defaults by copying parms from another temporary node
set nodeType = `optype ("$node")`
set defaultNode = `execute("opadd -v $nodeType")`
set parmList = `execute("opparm -d $defaultNode *")`
set firstSpace = `index("$parmList", " ")`
set chopOpparm = `substr("$parmList", $firstSpace, strlen("$parmList") - $firstSpace)`
set secondSpace = `index("$chopOpparm", " ")`
set defaultParms = `substr("$chopOpparm", $secondSpace, strlen("$chopOpparm") - $secondSpace)`
opparm $node $defaultParms

# Remove the temporary node
oprm $defaultNode

# Change back to the directory that called the script
opcf $savePath
set -u $savePath

cool idea.. create a temp node of the same type and pull those default parms to stick in the current one.. seems to work like a charm..

thanks grasshopper
