hey will,
here's a function to get the shape of a node (it looks complicated because
it's been severely battle tested over the years)
def getShape(node):
"""
Finds the shape node from a transform
@param node: Object
@type node: String
@return: Shape node
"""
if 'transform' in cmds.nodeType(node, inherited=True):
if cmds.listRelatives(node, shapes=True):
shapes = [x for x in cmds.listRelatives(node, shapes=True,
fullPath=True)
if cmds.getAttr(x + '.intermediateObject') is False]
if not shapes:
return None
return shapes[0]
else:
return None
elif 'shape' in cmds.nodeType(node, inherited=True):
return node
so then you could
def redWireColour():
selection = mc.ls( selection=True )
for i in selection:
selShape = getShape(i)
mc.setAttr( selShape + '.overrideEnabled', 1 )
mc.setAttr( selShape + '.overrideColor', 4 )
btw, in python you don't need to loop over the selection by an index - you
can just loop directly. saves some legwork.
cheers,
