Maya : Creating toggles

Fansub

Hello

Any buddy here knows how to create toggles between commands in Maya ?

I have the edge loop,edge ring and "Off" selection constaints that i want to be in one hotkey using a toggle command,just like this for the Move Tool :

string $currentTool = `currentCtx`; 
setToolTo $gMove;
if ($currentTool == "moveSuperContext")
setToolTo $gRotate;
else if ($currentTool == "RotateSuperContext")
setToolTo $gScale;

Here are the different selection constraints in Maya,from the Modeling Toolkit :

dR_selConstraintEdgeLoop;
dR_selConstraintEdgeRing;
dR_selConstraintOff;

I have already tried some simple copy/paste things but I'm just starting to learn Mel scripting so don't really know how some of these things work (especially the SuperContext that i don't understand and couldn't find any documentation of it)

In the long run creating my own toggle between X commands is what i want to do,but for now solving this issue will certainly help me understand how to do so.

Thanks,Fansub

I don't think there's a way to query current dr tools.

We could store a global int and use that to switch tools. The first time you run it, it will always start at 0 tho instead of toggling based on current mode.

global int $dr_count;
switch($dr_count) {
case 0:
    print "Mode: EdgeLoop";
    dR_selConstraintEdgeLoop;
    break;
case 1:
    print "Mode: EdgeRing";
    dR_selConstraintEdgeRing;
    break;
case 2:
    print "Mode: None";
    dR_selConstraintOff;
    break;
default:
    $dr_count = 0;    
    print "Mode: EdgeLoop";
    dR_selConstraintEdgeLoop;
    break;
}
$dr_count++;
