long name

[Adynsky]

Hi guys,

I have been creating the script for ctrl. Everything working well, except if there is same name in hierarchy. Here is part of the script:

def createControl(suffix='ctrl',

                  groups=['Zro', 'offset],

                  gimbal=None,

                  gimbalSize=0.5,

                  shape=SQUARE,

                  connect=['parentCons']):

    for obj in mc.ls(sl=1):

        ctrl     = controller(shape)

        renCtrl  = mc.rename(ctrl,'%s_%s' % (prefixName(obj), suffix))

        grpPrnt  = groupParent(groups, '%s' % prefixName(obj), suffix.title())

        parCtrl  = mc.parent(renCtrl, grpPrnt[-1])

        cnntCtrl = renCtrl

        lockAttrObj(cnntCtrl, 'visibility')

....

and the result as is on the image attachment. 

So, I have googling it and I found the answer that I need to query the long name first. I have tried but unfortunately I'm stuck to solve that. Any solution or insight?! Thanks in advance!

The list command has a flag "long" so this should work

mc.ls(sl=1, long = 1)

​Hi,

I have tried that, but still doesn't work.​

We'd likely need to see what your functions " controller()" and "groupParent()" are doing. Or if you can provide more details such as where your script fails when there's a duplicate name we might be able to clear up this issue.

Hi there,

The problem is when the script working the loop with the same name object on selection of hierarchy. As you can see on the image attachment that the arm01_ctrl won't be parented to arm02CtrlOffset_grp. I think this is caused by two of arm02CtrlOffset_grp, and the curve of arm01_ctrl (belongs to arm02CtrlZro_grp1) woudn't identify the base (top) of parent name. Here is the groupParent function

def groupParent(groups, prefix, suffix):

    grps = []

    for i in range(len(groups)):

        grps.append(mc.createNode('transform', n="%s%s%s_%s" % (prefix, suffix, groups[i], GROUP)))

        if i > 0:

            mc.parent(grps[i], grps[i-1])

    return grps

Thanks!
