Hello !
I’ve searched all the way to find a way, but that thing is really driving me crazy ! :banghead:
I have a MEL shelf button, and I’m trying to run a python command into it. I discovered the python command and I tried to use it.
The thing is, it works if I put it directly in Maya ( buy right-cliking the shelf button > edit ). But if I put the exact same code into my shelf file, It doesn’t works anymore.
shelfButton
-enableCommandRepeat 1
-enable 1
-width 35
-height 35
-manage 1
-visible 1
-preventOverride 0
-annotation "TEST"
-enableBackground 0
-align "center"
-label "test"
-labelOffset 0
-rotation 0
-flipX 0
-flipY 0
-useAlpha 1
-font "plainLabelFont"
-overlayLabelColor 0.8 0.8 0.8
-overlayLabelBackColor 0 0 0 0.2
-image "/u/mgl/maya2016-x64/icons/test/test.xpm"
-image1 "/u/mgl/maya2016-x64/icons/test/test.xpm"
-style "iconOnly"
-marginWidth 1
-marginHeight 1
[B] -command "python ("import sys");"
-sourceType "mel" [/B]
-commandRepeatable 1
-flat 1
;
So here are the results I have:
-command “python (“import sys”);”
= On maya starts, I have a warning " Shelf Error: The Shelf “test” has items that cannot be read … "
-command “python ('import sys’);”
= Maya starts normally, but if I launch the button, I have a syntax error:
// Error: python (‘import sys’); //
// Error: Line 1.9: Syntax error //
What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you guys !!
