dynamic attributes in AE template

[Michał Frątczak]

Hi

Is there any method to collect all dynamic attributes into one tab in AE ?

This would need to by dynamic, so any new attrib get's displayed in that tab

.

thanks

This should already happen, dynamic attributes are added to the bottom grouping, under "Extra Attributes". Does this not happen for you? Or do you mean an actual tab, as what you get per node? That could prove a little more challenging.

Hey Marcus !

Actually I need all custom attr whose name is "se_*" to be groupped under custom editorTemplate -beginLayout/-endLayout

My node's workflow depends heavily on these attributes being added/removed by user so I want them in one place instead burried in "Extra Attributes" haystack :)

I think I solved it with a little ugly hack

global proc mfVoxelizer_DynAttrs_New(string $plug)

{

}

global proc mfVoxelizer_DynAttrs_Replace(string $plug)

{

// THIS DOES NOT WORK WHEN PLACED IN THIS PROCEDURE

/*

string $temp[];

tokenize $plug "." $temp;

string $node = $temp[0];

string $se_attrs[] = get_se_attrs($node);

for($attr in $se_attrs)

{

print "!!!!!!!!! "; print $attr; endl;

editorTemplate -addDynamicControl $attr;

}

*/

// ugly hack

evalDeferred -lp "refreshEditorTemplates"; // no evalDeferred causes CRASH

}

editorTemplate -beginLayout "Dynamic Attributes"  -collapse 0;

string $se_attrs[] = get_se_attrs($nodeName);

for($attr in $se_attrs)

editorTemplate -addDynamicControl $attr; // can't put this into mfVoxelizer_DynAttrs_Replace

editorTemplate -callCustom "mfVoxelizer_DynAttrs_New" "mfVoxelizer_DynAttrs_Replace" "";

editorTemplate -endLayout;
