Scripting Issue fumeFXcmd

[dinom]

This is a great workaround and it works but it just runs the post script over and over.

My bad. Should be something like:

Code:

global int ffx_seq_sim_flag = 0;
proc ffx_mel_PostSim( string $node )
{
    global int ffx_seq_sim_flag;
    if ( ffx_seq_sim_flag==0 ) {
        ffx_seq_sim_flag = 1;
        evalDeferred("pause -sec 10;fumeFXcmd -runSimulation 2 \"fumeFXShape1\";");
    }
}

-----

For Example in Mel

Code:

FumeFXcmd -runSimulation 0 "fumeFXShape1";
FumeFXcmd -makePreview 1 10 5 0 "fumeFXShape1";

This works great, runs sim and then a preview

With Python

Code:

import maya.cmd as mc
mc.fumeFXcmd( "fumeFXShape1", runSimulation=0)
mc.fumeFXcmd( "fumeFXShape1", makePreview=[1, 10, 5, 0)]

runs the preview first and then the sim which is no good

I can confirm that. Wow. Will look into that. Thx.
