ok, cool, I think I understand it better now. Thanks, guys. Also, if you don't mind, another question, what exactly is the '%' doing in this code. And I have used 'int' before, and seen the '16' posted around, what exactly are those doing, I am guessing that is what converts the value from string to integer?

The problem isn't hex vs. int; the value you're getting back from the Python knob is identical to the hex value returned by the nuke.tcl call. The issue you're running into is that the nuke.tcl call is returning the hex value as a string, so you need to cast it to a numeric type before you can actually use it.
n = nuke.selectedNode()
tile_color = int(nuke.tcl('value [topnode %s].tile_color' % n.name()), 16)

Thanks Ivan.
This was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. However I had to change it a little bit because this was returning the tile color hex value, if I understand all this correctly, and my function needs just the integer value. As I can't assign or set a tile_color using hex, or I haven't been able to figure it out.

Anyways, for whatever reason this does the trick, kinda mixing your code with what I had before. I am still not very sure why the tile_color has 2 different value formats.

n = nuke.selectedNode()
topnode_name = nuke.tcl("full_name [topnode %s]" % n.name())
topnode = nuke.toNode(topnode_name)
tile_col = topnode['tile_color'].value()

Thanks again and much appreciated.

n = nuke.selectedNode()

tile_color = nuke.tcl("value [topnode %s].tile_color" % n.name <http://n.name>())


Hope that helps

You can use nuke.tcl() within python to execute a tcl command.

So, in your case, something like this should work:

n = nuke.selectedNode()

topnode_name = nuke.tcl("full_name [topnode %s]" % n.name <http://n.name>())

topnode = nuke.toNode(topnode_name)

Hopefully a quick question,

If I currently have a node selected somewhere in a tree, and I want to access the topnodes tile color using python, how would I do so? Using [[topnode].tile_color] doesn't seem to work as it is tcl? Looking around it seems you need to check dependecies of all the nodes or something, but I haven't been able to get anything to work. Is there no way to convert the tcl function to work in python?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Adam
