I am building a renaming script for a class project. My script works in two ways it has a manual mode for selections also an Automatic mode. I have the manual mode working fine just like it should work however the Automatic mode is proving to be quite unforgiving.
Right now I am working on making it auto rename all the lights in the scene if for some reason you wanted all the lights to be one name. Heres that script.
if ((`menuItem -q -radioButton aut` == 1) && (`menuItem -q -radioButton light` == 1))
{
//checks for lights
string $sel[] = `ls -lt`;
string $ind_obj;
//loop
for ($ind_obj in $sel)
{
rename $ind_obj $txRename;
}
}
}
Here is the rest of the code
global proc EasyName()
{
//Code written by Apophis3d(Chris Hatchie) This script provides a fast and easy way to renaming objects just select and go! Or automaticly renaming a bunch of objects quickly using the auto renaming function!!
//Checks to see if the window exists
if (`window -query -exists Ename`)
deleteUI Ename;
//Window setup
string $menu = `window -menuBar true -title "Easy Namer" Ename`;
//File Menu
menu -label "File" -tearOff true;
menuItem -label "Exit"
-command ("deleteUI -window " + $menu);
//Objects Menu
