Referencing an OTL on creation

[junaid]

Hi There,

 

I am in the middle of setting up a tool and kind of stuck with python's silliness.

basically I am creating an OTL through another OTL in my scene on button press, its all working fine. But what I am also looking to have a parameter referenced to the OTL which its been originally created from.

an striped down version is something like this in scripting tab of my OTL

 

def createObject(thisnode):

    createNode = hou.node("/obj").createNode("renderObject", newNode)

    createNode.setParms({"myParm": thisnode})

 

 

its working fine if i type anything underqoutes instead of thisnode 

 

Thanks,

Junaid

Assuming "myParm" is a string parameter you can set it to thisnode.path()

ahh got it.

 

def createObject(thisnode):

     nodePath = thisnode.path()

    createNode = hou.node("/obj").createNode("renderObject", newNode)

    createNode.setParms({"myParm": nodePath})

 

 

Cheer for the help Graham !
