Run a python script automatically when a specific scene open, and ONLY then

[Anonymous]

Hello!,

I have a script that reads 2 float numbers from a csv file and place this numbers in a floatConstant shader in hypershade. I want every time that a specific scene open (this scene have the hypershade with the shaders embedded) the script running too.

First of all I tried to put the script as "userSetup.py" in the Maya script folder and with an If- statement check if the "right" scene open. But nothing happend.

Do anybody  have ever face this problem??

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

You could try "scriptJob" to achieve what you want, but i recommend to directly apply a Mel script node to the scene.

Hi!

First of all thank you for your front response. I tried with "scriptJob" but maybe I did  something wrong and it didn't work.

About the MEL script node, the problem is that my script is written in python. If i want to make a script node i have to translate from python to MEL, which is difficult.

I thought about to create a shelf button with the script and make a script node to run  this shelf button, but i don't know if it's possible (???)
