setting the dop io preset

[newbee]

in DOP IO node

i am trying to set the preset as PYRO using

x=hou.node('/obj/geo1/dopio1')

y=x.parm("presets")

y.set("pyro")

 

but this doesn't set the preset really.. any ideas?

That 'presets' parameter is calling a callback python script.

You could try this:

theGeo = hou.node('/obj/geo1/dopio1')

# Keyword argument needed by the internal invokePresetMenu function
myArgs = {'node': theGeo, 'script_value0': 'pyro'}

# The internal python function called by the presets parameter.
theGeo.hm().invokePresetMenu(myArgs)

Hi.

I did as you told me, but I got an error

error - 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'hdaModule"

 

I created a new edit in the shelf tool and entered in, but it doesn't run. 

Why is that? 

 

Thank you.
