draggerContext command helppeee!!

[e955...@gmail.com]

hello!,

im trying to create a locator upon a button press from the user. i have it all set up to create the locator, but the locator actually appears on the screen upon the button release!.

is there a way to get the locator to appear literally when you press the button down??? - it can print text in script editor exactly on button press but not create it seems,

anyone know how?

heres the current code to create locator:

###############################################################
import maya.cmds as cmds

Context='Context'

def onPress():
print "pressing now!"
cmds.spaceLocator(p=(1,1,1))


if cmds.draggerContext(Context, exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI(Context)
cmds.draggerContext(Context, pressCommand=onPress, name=Context, cursor='crossHair')
cmds.setToolTo(Context)

###############################################################

Hey there,

Your command is actually firing and the locator being created when your mouse button presses down, but you aren't seeing the viewport update to show the locator until you release the mouse. I'm guessing it is because a redraw is being blocked/postponed while the mouse down event is happening (just wildly guessing). 

Anyways, try this:

def onPress():
    print "pressing now!"
    cmds.spaceLocator(p=(1,1,1

))
    cmds.refresh()
