Python Script to create objects from intSlider

strubefabian4 — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 07:44:07 GMT

Hey guys,
i am very new to python and want to create a Script to create joints.

The Idea is to get a window and there I can set the number with the intSlider.
Once i press CreateJoints it should create the number i set in the intSlider:

I just can't figer out what's wrong here:

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.window(title = "Create Joints", width = 300, height = 100)
cmds.columnLayout("CreateJointsLayout", adjustableColumn = True)
slider = cmds.intSliderGrp ( "CreateJoints", label = "Joints", field = True, fieldMinValue = 1, fieldMaxValue = 10, minValue = 1, maxValue = 100, columnWidth3 = [50, 50, 50], columnAlign3 = ["left", "both", "left"], value = 0, parent = "CreateJointsLayout")
cmds.showWindow()
Number = cmds.intSliderGrp ( "CreateJoints", query = True, value = True)
CreateOne = cmds.button(label = "click me", parent = "CreateJointsLayout", command = CreateJoints)
print Number

def CreateJoints():
for Number in slider:
sel = cmds.joint( p=(0, 0, 0) )
cmds.select( sel, tgl=True )

Thanks for your help and time!

There are a few things going on here, I'll tell you what they are and then show a finished example.

The intSliderGrp "command" argument needs to refer to a known Python method, so you have to move the definition of CreateJoints before it
In order to iterate over your new value you have to query it from the intSliderGrp.
The CreateJoints callback from a button requires a single argument, which can be ignored for your purposes
Your "for" loop should iterate over a numeric range. "slider" is a UI widget

import maya.cmds as cmds

cmds.window(title = "Create Joints", width = 300, height = 100)
cmds.columnLayout("CreateJointsLayout", adjustableColumn = True)
slider = cmds.intSliderGrp ( "CreateJoints", label = "Joints", field = True, fieldMinValue = 1, fieldMaxValue = 10, minValue = 1, maxValue = 100, columnWidth3 = [50, 50, 50], columnAlign3 = ["left", "both", "left"], value = 0, parent = "CreateJointsLayout")
cmds.showWindow()

def CreateJoints(button_value):
    slider_value = cmds.intSliderGrp( slider, query=True, value=True )
    print slider_value
    for Number in range(0,slider_value):
        sel = cmds.joint( p=(0, 0, 0) )
        cmds.select( sel, tgl=True )
        
CreateOne = cmds.button(label = "click me", parent = "CreateJointsLayout", command = CreateJoints)

Hope that leads you in the right direction...
