Hi all,
When you call something from a menu, it is added to a Recent Command List
accessible via the Edit menu. Likewise, when you execute a line in the
script editor, the full contents of what you ran is added to said list.
The last entry in that list is repeated on pressing G, or going Edit ->
Repeat …
However, when running something outside of a menu or Script Editor, this
doesn’t happen.
from Qt import QtWidgets
def onclick():
cmds.polyCube()
button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Press Me")
button.show()
button.clicked.connect(onclick)
Here, a new cube is created on pressing the button, but on hitting G what
you get instead is a new button; as it is repeating the script itself
rather than what happened on pressing the button.
How can I make the contents of onclick trigger on hitting G or pressing
Edit -> Repeat …?
I’ve tried cmds.evalDeferred("cmds.polyCube()") which I figured would do
the job for me, but doesn’t. Like wise with maya.utils.executeDeferred.
Then I figured I need a custom command plug-in, but then realised polyCube
is also a command and Maya doesn’t care either way.
My next/last resort is creating a new but hidden Maya menu, adding a
command to it and triggering that so as to force Maya into adding it to the
list, and then deleting it. But would love to avoid that.
Any ideas?
