Modifying a Menu Script Code By Python ( Digital Asset )

[gemini]

Hi, 

Can It be possible to modify a Digitial Asset Parameter's Menu Script by Python ?

I use a similar code like this to modify the callbacks , but I could not figure out with menu script..

        if not script == None:
            pt.setScriptCallback( script)
            pt.setScriptCallbackLanguage(hou.scriptLanguage.Python)
        elif not replace_in_script == None:
            replace_what = replace_in_script.split('|')[0]
            replace_to = replace_in_script.split('|')[1]
            pt.setScriptCallback( pt.scriptCallback().replace( replace_what, replace_to))
            pt.setScriptCallbackLanguage(hou.scriptLanguage.Python)

        ptg.replace( parm, pt)

        if not node.type().definition():
            node.setParmTemplateGroup(ptg)
        else:       
            ptg = node.type().definition().setParmTemplateGroup(ptg)

Any Help is Wellcome!!

Cheers, G

Hey, if you want to put a script into the hda menu script, it must return a dictionnary with your menu items and their id, like

def myMenu():
	do something
	items = {"0" : "item1", "1" : "item2"}
	return items

myMenu()

I don't know if that seems clear to you, but as you replace the "classic" item list by a script, it must return some items, and those items are evaluated as a dictionnary.

Yes. Thanks, but this is not what i am searching for.  I would replace my menu script ( which has been written ) with an other script by a python script.

I don't understand what's your goal here. If you want to replace your script by another script using some condition, create a python module in your hda with your different functions and call them in the menu using hou.pwd().hdaModule.myFunction().

Sorry the goal is clear as I wrote. If you have an asset which has about 150 parameters you would not like to modify it by hand too. 

And you will have the chance to make a mistake !

Any help ?

use

pt.itemGeneratorScript(), pt.itemGeneratorScriptLanguage()

and

pt.setItemGeneratorScript(), pt.setItemGeneratorScriptLanguage()

Did you? Probably an old Houdini version's asset , but I coudl not figure out how to solve.
