Maya Scripting Problem

sukhpreet

Can anyone tell, What is .overrideEnabled in this script? What is this use for?


import maya.cmds as cmds
def tabB(hkpressed):
if( hkpressed == 1 ):
pann = cmds.getPanel( wf=1 )
if "modelPanel" in pann:
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, nc=1 )
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, ikHandles=1 )
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, xray=1 )
if(cmds.ls(type='HIKCharacterNode')):
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, joints=1 )
global oldObjL
oldObjL = []
visO = cmds.ls( tr=1, o=1, v=1 )
for v in visO:
shObj = cmds.listRelatives( v, s=1 )
exType = cmds.ls( shObj, st=1 )
if( exType ):
if (cmds.getAttr( v+".overrideEnabled", se=1 ) == 1 and exType[1]=='mesh' ):
cmds.setAttr( v+".overrideEnabled", 1 )
cmds.setAttr( v+".overrideDisplayType", 2 )
oldObjL.append(v)
 
elif( hkpressed == 0 ):
global oldObjL
pann = cmds.getPanel( wf=1 )
if "modelPanel" in pann:
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, nc=0 )
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, ikHandles=0 )
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, xray=0 )
if(cmds.ls(type='HIKCharacterNode')):
cmds.modelEditor( pann, e=1, joints=0 )
for o in oldObjL:
cmds.setAttr( o+".overrideEnabled", 0 )
cmds.setAttr( o+".overrideDisplayType", 0 )

The attribute is to turn on "Enable Overrides" for drawing overrides. It's turning overrides on and setting the display type to reference. If you select a node you can find these attributes under "drawing overrides" in the attribute editor
