Hello everyone,
I am a little stuck with string and variables. I understand how to create a string and how to pass it for the most basic use. However I am now trying to do the same thing in a more complicated scenario (for my basic knowledge) and I haven’t been able to figure it out. I would love your help guys.
Basically I have like 50 animations and I want to be able to import them in and export our with almost the same name and I thought that it would be easier to call the animation if I had the name put it once and then that passes the name to all the other places where it needs it.
I want to make it a string so it can be an user input later.
Original Working Code:
//Import animation to the scene
file -import -type “FBX”
-ignoreVersion -ra true -mergeNamespacesOnClash false
-namespace “Dance_01” -options “fbx” -pr -importFrameRate true
-importTimeRange “override” “D:/Desktop/Animations/Dance_01.fbx”;
///More lines of code…
// rename and Export Animation
file -force -options “fbx” -typ “FBX export” -pr -es “D:/Desktop/ProcessAnimations/Female_Dance_01”;
Failed Attempt:
//Define the string variable
string $myFileName = “Dance_01”;
//Import animation to the scene using the string variable
file -import -type “FBX”
-ignoreVersion -ra true -mergeNamespacesOnClash false
-namespace $myFileName = (""" + $myFileName + “”") -options “fbx” -pr -importFrameRate true
-importTimeRange “override” $myFileName = (“D:/Desktop/Animations/” + $myFileName + “.fbx”);
///More lines of code…
// rename and Export Animation
file -force -options “fbx” -typ “FBX export” -pr -es $myFileName = “(D:/Desktop/ProcessAnimations/Female_” + $myFileName + “”");
I have been getting a syntax error but I am not really sure how to break it down to be able to pass on the string variable
If anyone has worked with this type of string variables, please I will appreciate your help.
