Maya replicate along curve with MASH script

m00k

Hey guys I'm writing the script in the title but I've run into some issues. The script works once but once other mash networks enter the fray it fails since I don't know how to indicate which one to use. I can't find any decent MASH documentation.

# Curve replicator


#TODO

# alter mash network name

#add support for other curves


import MASH.api as mapi

import maya.cmds as cmds



selection = cmds.ls (selection = True);

shapes =  cmds.listRelatives (shapes = True)

succes = 0


cmds.select (cl = True)




#sort selection

if (len(selection) == 2):

    for shape in shapes:

        if (cmds.objectType(shape, isType = 'bezierCurve')):

            obCurve = selection[shapes.index(shape)]

            succes = succes+1


        elif (cmds.objectType(shape, isType = 'mesh')):

            print selection[shapes.index(shape)]

            ob = cmds.duplicate(selection[shapes.index(shape)], rr = True)

            succes = succes+2


        else:

            print 'object selected is not bezier or mesh, quiting'


    if (succes == 3):

#Create mash network

        cmds.select (ob)

        mashNetwork = mapi.Network()

        mashNetwork.createNetwork(name = 'Replicator')

        mashNetwork.addNode('MASH_Curve')

        cmds.connectAttr(obCurve + '.worldSpace[0]', 'MASH1_Curve' + '.inCurves[0]', force=1)


#Print stuff

        print mashNetwork.waiter

        print mashNetwork.distribute

        print mashNetwork.instancer


else:

    print 'selection incorrect, stopping...'
