Hello All,
I'm trying to get a character loader functional, that will load separate
rigs (control rig and envelope rig) into the scene and connect them. So
far, everything in my tool is working except the actual referencing.
Somehow, when I do it through code, the IK chains and who knows what
else (I really haven't tested beyond the IK Chains--Spline IK works
fine, just not regular IK. I assume that if I can get this first part
fixed, the rest will work as well).
The weird part is this. If I load both files manually (through the file
menu->create reference) everything works flawlessly. My rigs come in
and everything connects up if I run that part of my script. If,
however, I do it through code, no more IK on my control rig. Through
code, if I load just one rig, everything works as well, and I can then
manually load the envelope rig, followed by connecting with code, which
again works. It seems to be the moment that I tell the code to load
both rigs that it breaks. Here's the relevant code:
charName =
self.availableCharacters[cmds.optionMenu(self.UIElements["charSelect"],
query=True, select=True) - 1]["characterName"]
cRigPath =
self.availableCRigs[cmds.optionMenu(self.UIElements["crSelect"],
query=True, select=True) - 1]["rigPath"]
eRigPath =
self.availableERigs[cmds.optionMenu(self.UIElements["erSelect"],
query=True, select=True) - 1]["rigPath"]
# Create the base node and namespace
cmds.namespace(set=":")
if not cmds.namespace(exists=":{0}".format(charName)):
cmds.namespace(add=charName)
cmds.namespace(set=charName)
masterNode = cmds.group(empty=True, name="Master")
# Reference in the control rig and place it under the master node
cmds.file("{0}/{1}".format(self.projectData.characterPath,
cRigPath), loadReferenceDepth="all", reference=True,
namespace="{0}_CR".format(charName))
crNode = cmds.ls("{0}:{0}_CR:*".format(charName),
assemblies=True)[0]
crNode = cmds.parent(crNode, masterNode)[0]
crNodeShortName = crNode.rpartition(":")[2]
crScaleAllNode = "{0}|{1}:{1}_CR:scaleAllGRP".format(crNode,
charName)
## Reference in the envelope rig and place it under the master node
cmds.file("{0}/{1}".format(self.projectData.characterPath,
eRigPath), loadReferenceDepth="all", reference=True,
namespace="{0}_ER".format(charName))
erNode = cmds.ls("{0}:{0}_ER:*".format(charName),
assemblies=True)[0]
erNode = cmds.parent(erNode, masterNode)[0]
erScaleAllNode = "{0}|{1}:{1}_ER:scaleAllGRP".format(erNode,
charName)
(keep in mind that I've got several external vars from another
class--setting the path directly should work fine)
I even tried putting a 5 second sleep between loads, and no dice. The
behavior seems to hold when I use the MEL equivalent commands as well.
I'm a bit stumped on this one. I'm not sure if it's something in my rig
or not, but that possibility would seem to be eliminated by the fact
that it works as intended when I load it manually. I guess I'm just
wondering if I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
