Please tell me how to select the parent node by script.

[eunchae]

Hi.

I want to select all the parent nodes of the selected node.

For example, if you select null3 and click the Python shelf, the parent node null2 is selected, and if you press the Python shelf again, the parent node above it is selected, and all the parent nodes are selected.

 

Please refer to the image.

Please check my script.

Thank you.

 

node = hou.selectedNodes()[0]
b= node.inputs()[0]
b.setSelected(True)

This is so similar to what I am trying to do also; I need a button to select a specific node from another location directory.

[msmahesh]

nodes = hou.selectedNodes()
for i in nodes:
    i.inputs()[0].setSelected(True)

I didn't fully understand what you need exactly but if you want to select all the parent nodes by clicking multiple times for python shelf button this will work.

nodes = hou.selectedNodes()
for i in nodes:
    foo = i.inputs()
    if(len(foo)!=0):
        i.inputs()[0].setSelected(True, clear_all_selected=True)

 If you want to select the parent node and clear the selected node before this will work. This will leave only one selected node, the script before leave multiple selected nodes.

Thank you!!

 

node = hou.selectedNodes()[-1]

sel_list = []

b= node.inputs()[0]

sel_list.append(b)

b.setSelected(True)

I tried this Thank you very much for the answer.
