How to create a preset light without changing the camera view?

[magneto]

Hi,

 

I am creating a light and then loading my preset from the network editor but the camera view changes when I run this command/shelf button. Is there a way to prevent this? This is my code:

import toolutils
import objecttoolutils

kwargs['pane'] = toolutils.sceneViewer()
node = objecttoolutils.genericCameraLightTool(kwargs, 'hlight', 'spotlight1', False)
hou.hscript("oppresetload " + node.path() + " 'Custom Light'")

Thanks

replace

 

node = objecttoolutils.genericCameraLightTool(kwargs, 'hlight', 'spotlight1', False)

 

with

 

node = genericTool(scriptargs, nodetypename, nodename, clicktoplace)

Thanks Arthur, it complains about the generic tool. Do you know what I should be importing?

[ayidi]

node = objecttoolutils.genericTool(scriptargs, nodetypename, nodename, clicktoplace)

 

genericTool is part of the objecttoolutils module

Thanks Arthur, it works now.
