My Current node name

[miarmy]

Hi.in the compute function of my nodr...i want know
What is my node name...and what is the node name which us connected to one attribute of my node.
...
def compute(self, plug, data):
#get name:

Please help!help!....python api 2.0...

The API docs for MPxNode should list a function that'll give you this. I think it's just name(...) but double check in the docs.

Thanks...i use self.name() code in my node compute function(api 2.0) to query node name....now,how i can query node nam in c++ API comput function!?😀

[Rémi Deletrain]

I give an exemple in Python but is a same way for c++ API

mfn_node = OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode(self.thisMObject())

mfn_node.name()

You want to get node connected to your node in input ? You try to get node name for use cmds ? it's possible to get with API.

get plug with findPlug function of MFnDependencyNode:

    mplug = mfn_node.findPlug(MObject_Attribute)

And use connectedTo of MPlug

    mplug.connectedTo(yourPlugArray, True, False) # for get input

    mplug.connectedTo(yourPlugArray, False, True) # for get output

    mplug.connectedTo(yourPlugArray, True, True) # for get both

You must prefere to get this data in connectionMade function of your MPxNode rather than the compute.
