NextFrame without updating viewport

[antonio.funaro]

Hello guys,

any help with this script?

NextFrame without updating viewport

( and next KeyFrame with no viewport update as alternative)

thanks you all!

Hi!

I 'm not sure if you mean this, because its one of the most common functions when working with scripts that iterate through every frame, so you probably already heard about it... But the "refresh" command, which is responsible for windows updating in the Maya interface, has a "suspend" (-su) flag which prohibits windws from updating.

I hope this helps

currentTime -edit -10 -update no;

this is an example I found on Autodesk mel guide.

the only thing it does is to bring me to the frame -10, I want to move forward of 1 frame ( relative to my position on the timeline)  each time I run the command 

I tried something like:  currentTime -edit NEXTFRAME -update no;    and also using different ways but it always update the viewport.

this Runtime I made works but it jumps between Keyframes. I want the same behavior but simply going forward of 1 frame on the timeline

currentTime -edit -update false(`playbackOptions -q -slp` ? `findKeyframe -timeSlider -which previous` : `findKeyframe -which previous`);

oh ok this seems to work!

currentTime -edit (`currentTime -query`+ 1) -update no;

I knew you'd figure it out.  🙂
