Gear mirror animation attribute

[Gustavo Eggert Boehs]

Hello guys, sorry for crossposting this here (from Si-Community), as I understand many gear users hang around here, might get a bit more help...

I am using gear for mirroring poses and animation, as it already has template making built in and stuff... very neat.
Mirror pose works like a charm. The command called is xsi.Gear_MirrorPose() no arguments needed. It applies mirroring to selected controlers.

Mirror animation on the other hand (called by xsi.Gear_mirrorAnimation()) asks for 1 argument (controlers). Funny enough the menu does not seem to pass any attribute when calling this functions. Therefore I get an error. I try (by hand) passing xsi.Selection (as the first thing the function does is checking if selection is null) with no luck. I have also tried to pass object names as string, no luck

Error without passing anything:

# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
# TypeError: gear_MirrorAnimation_Execute() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
#  - [line 4294967295 in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Addons\gear\Application\Plugins\gear_mirrorAnimation.py]
# ERROR : OLE error 0x80020101

Error without passing selection:

Anybody had any luck with these?

Hi Gustavo !

Yeah I saw that the other day, I'm surprized that nobody noticed it before. 

We've started using it here at Blur and I fixed it. 

I'm attaching the new file ;-)

Opps, my bad. I did some simple changes in the mirror pose tool. Not in the animation mirror. I will ask the animators to try this one.

Hey Jeremie, thanks very much, works perfectly now :D

Best regards

Miquel > I'm glad you're not sending me an email everytime you find a bug in gear :D I would have to blacklist you !

[Miquel Campos]

Seriously, will be really hard to be blacklisted finding bugs in gear. ;)

Hey Guys,

Anyone could help with mirror animation and gear please?

Would mean a lot!

I;ve found this fixed py and replaced old one but any how to manual what to select what to mirror.. Whatever i doo I'm getting ERROR : OLE error 0x80020101 plus bunch of other stuff..

Maybe I just made some stupid workflow selection problem or something but any hlp would be great.

Also hoping that this one will be shared, looks great! :)
