duplicate node

[breadbox]

I'm having trouble getting figuring out the python to duplicate a node. Id like to also incriment a variable within a paramater with each copy. here is what I got so far.

import hou
for index in range(10):
    myNode = hou.node("obj/geo")
    #print myNode

    myNode_ChipID = myNode.parm("CHIPID")
    #print myNode_ChipID

    hou.copyNodesToClipboard(myNode)
    newCopy = hou.pasteNodesFromClipboard('obj')
    print index
    newCopy_ChipID.set(index)
[/CODE]

it looks like this is what you want

not sure about range of the loop though

myNode = hou.node("obj/geo")

for index in range(1,12):
    newNode = hou.copyNodesTo( (myNode,), myNode.parent() )[0]
    newNode.parm("CHIPID").set(index)

[/CODE]
