POHow to assign "IDs" to global variables in a definition
text
Body
copied!<p>Okay, I have a function which is basically a grouping up global variables that get updated by other definitions.</p> <p>What I want to do is be able to re-use this definition to add CTRLS to other layouts later on, but I run into the issue of the same variable names being used. Is there a way to add an attribute per variable? or an ID in python so that when the function is run a second time the variables have an identifer? </p> <pre><code>def createDomeLightCTRLS(self,lightName,parentFrame): lightShape = mel.listRelatives(lightName,shapes=True) self.LD3 = mel.rowLayout(parent = parentFrame, numberOfColumns = 7, cat = [(1,'left',10)]) self.LD3_Spherical = mel.checkBox(str(lightName[0]) + '_spherical', label = 'Dome Spherical' , value = False ) mel.separator(hr = False, width = 10, height = 20, style = 'out') self.LD3_SubDivs = mel.intSliderGrp(str(lightName[0]) + '_subdivs', label = 'SubDivs', min = 1, max = 100, field = True, value = 8, cw = [(1,45),(2,45),(3,75)]) mel.separator(hr = False, width = 10, height = 20, style = 'out') self.LD3_rayDistCheck = mel.checkBox(str(lightName[0]) + '_rayDistCheck', label = 'Use Distance', value = False) mel.separator(hr = False, width = 10, height = 20, style = 'out') self.LD3_rayDist = mel.floatSliderGrp(str(lightName[0]) + '_rayDist', label = 'Distance', pre = 3, enable = False, field = True, value = False, min = 1, max = 1000000000, cw = [(1,45),(2,85),(3,85)] ) mel.setParent('..') #
