Python script to change operator type

[BaiLong]

Hi,

 

I would like to use python to run whatever functions are executed when you use the righ click menu > "Change Type...". Because I have to do it on a number of nodes.

 

Does anyone have an idea how to change the operator type of a node?

 

That's what I have so far:

changeNodes = []
objs = hou.root().recursiveGlob('*', hou.nodeTypeFilter.Obj)
for o in objs:
    if o.type().name() == 'nodeType_A':
        changeNodes.append(o)
for c in changeNodes:
    #change nodeType to 'nodeType_B'
    #Keep name
    #Keep Parameters

Any ideas? If there is a way to just get whatever code is run when I use the "Change Type..." that would already be of huge help!

 

Thanks a lot!

hou.Node.changeNodeType()

Oh wow, that was simple!
I wasn't thinking of looking in the API for the operations on Node. I only looked at NodeType...

Thanks so much!!!
