newb question on toggles

[JayG]

In your for loop, use getAttr to find out if it's currently on or off, then use an if to switch it accordingly.

i.e.

if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled")`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled") 1 ;
}

sorry, this is giving me syntax errors:

string $mySelection[] = `ls -sl`;
for($each in $mySelection) { // each is a new variable that is made equal to one of the array of selected objects.
if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled)`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled) 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled) 1 ;
}
if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideShading)`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading) 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading) 1 ;
}
if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideTexturing)`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideTexturing) 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading) 1 ;
}



It's probably something simple but I'm winging it here.

Add a quote after the attribute name, forgot it in my example..sorry.

($each+".attributeName")

Make sense?

still bad

string $mySelection[] = `ls -sl`;
for($each in $mySelection){
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled") 1 ;
}
if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideShading")`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading") 1 ;
}
if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideTexturing")`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideTexturing") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading") 1 ;
}

[JayG]

Ah ya just forgot the if statement on the first one, all good.

Below tested and works.


string $mySelection[] = `ls -sl`;
for($each in $mySelection){
if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled")`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideEnabled") 1 ;
}

if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideShading")`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading") 1 ;
}

if(`getAttr ($each+".overrideTexturing")`){
setAttr ($each+".overrideTexturing") 0 ;
}
else {
setAttr ($each+".overrideShading") 1 ;
}
}

works great - thanks. This is a big help

[JayG]

No prob. This same method obviously works for any attribute. You can hard code it and make a button or put it in a procedure and pass in the attributes, etc.

[safakoner]

small addition...

string $mySelection[] = `ls -sl`;
int $val;
for($each in $mySelection)
{
$val = `getAttr ($each + ".overrideEnabled")`;
setAttr ($each + ".overrideEnabled") (!$val) ;
/*
etc.
*/
}

[JayG]

Ah sweet, that is way easier than my answer. =)

Good call safakoner.
