Hi all! :)

How can I execute a command when one attribute is changed?

And other question. When I select a object.. for example: ball_geo_Lf_LegA, how can I detect the side of the object (Lf or Rt) and rename with the inverse side?

For example: ball_geo_Lf_LegA -> ball_geo_Rt_LegA or ball_jnt_Rt_fk -> ball_jnt_Lf_fk

Thanks! :)

Hi konata,

You can use scriptJob command for triggering a command when an attribute is changed....
For more help have look in to Maya documentation or MEL command reference....

If you just want to toggle the naming of the left and right side then you can do that using "match" and "substitute".
The following code should work if you have one object selected:
string $RT = "_Rt_";
string $LT = "_Lf_";

string $sel[] = `ls -sl -fl`;
if (`match $RT $sel[0]` != "")
{
print "\nrenaming right to left";
rename $sel[0] (`substitute $RT $sel[0] $LT`);
}
else if (`match $LT $sel[0]` != "")
{
print "\nrenaming left to right";
rename $sel[0] (`substitute $LT $sel[0] $RT`);
}
