Hi there,

i m strating to learn python , and i m facing a little problem with the setAttr command

This is the simple code :


Emit = cmds.emitter(typ="omni", n="DirtEmtr", r=100, sro=1, spd=2, srn=0.5, nsp=1)
Ptcl = cmds.particle(n="DirtPtcl")
cmds.connectDynamic (Ptcl , em=Emit)


i want to make a setAttr to change the speed value of the emiiter so i try :



cmds.setAttr (Emit+".speed",4)

and

cmds.setAttr ("%s.speed" %(Emit),4)


Both give me an error , and dont understand why. if someone ca help...

Thanks,

a=mc.emitter()
print a
Result: [u'emitter1']

So this is list [].

YOur code should be cmds.setAttr (Emit[0]+".speed",4)

But be aware , if you have selection (particleShape,object) , emitter will be parented under selection and your list will be [particle,emitter] etc.
