https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-programming-forum/scriptjob-with-attributechanged-flag-and-references/m-p/3994066#M17824 Everyone,<BR /><BR />I have a character with arms and legs controled by a Ik-Fk switch. The switching mechanism is based on a scriptJob with the <I>-attributeChanged</I> flag. This character will be referenced into a scene for animation. In order to enable the switches on file load, I have a script node set to do that. All works well until I reference the file.<BR /><BR />Because the referenced file is under a namespace, the script node does not find the object onto which to apply the scriptJob: lets say the object <B>armControl.ikFkSwitch </B>becomes <B>character:armControl.ikFkSwitch</B>.<BR /><BR />1. Since the characters are setup using a standard naming convention, there might be many objects name <I>armControl</I>, so I cant really look for it effectively.<BR /><BR />2. Is there a way for the script node to know if it is referenced, not just opened?<BR /><BR />3. The <I>namespace</I> documentation does not really help in this case. Is there a way I can know for certain the last namespace added into a file?<BR /><BR />4. Is there a way for a script node to select itself, or at least read its name? my idea is to have a permanent connection between the script node and the objects it sets scriptJobs to, using a message attribute.<BR /><BR />Any other ideas would be very welcomed, thank you.
