run python script from button in node

[Fomal]

Hi,

I made a python script that runs from the shelf. I'd like to have the script run when I press an update button created in a node. Looked at the callback function but can't figure out how to get it to work.

Hope someone can help

cheers Coen

In the "scripts" tab of your hda add a PythonModule and put your function there, e.g. def runMe()

In your button callback, enter hou.pwd().hdaModule().runMe()

Better if you take a look at the mdd writer hda at http://undo.fi/houdini/mdd/ - it has a button set up that runs a script.

There might be better ways to do it, but at least that works for me

thanks eetu,

starting to make sense now. But is that only suitable for digital asset? Just trying it on a null now and the method doesn't seem to work

Hey guys,, I'm trying this out now.. on a null..? how did you get it working Coen/Fomal..? or do I have to make it into a hda..?

I'm struggling to shovle the script into a function also..?

any help would be great..?
