RMB markingMenu Button on specific controller.

[Soham Parmar]

Hi Guys,

I wanted to make custom markingMenu button like "IK / FK Snap" whenever i RMB on "IK_ctrl". I don't want that markingMenu button on other controllers.

can anybody please help, I want to do in python.

Thanks.

one way or another, you'd have to override the dagMenuProc from maya, which is in MEL. But if you want to do it in python, nothing prevents you from calling some python code inside the MEL proc, and passing the objectName, I suppose. 

Run (in MEL):

whatIs dagMenuProc

to find the proc on your machine

Then go to the dagMenuProc function, and from here, you can do whatever you want, since the name under your cursor is given (by $object)

hope this helps

not necessarily, you can provide your version of the script and ask the person who'll use your rig to run it everytime he uses your rig. Then, run the original version when he's done, so it doesn't screw his RMB in case you do something you shouldn't in your script.

Alternately, you can trigger your script yourself with a scriptJob
