The Problem:
I don't get any syntax errors when i run the script up until i try to build the UI. Everything seems fine until i run the last 2 lines of code.
I get the following error : Error: RuntimeError: file line 41: Object's name 'mst_txtfld_x_value' is not unique.
I made sure to deleteUI in line 8~9, so I'm assuming that the textField is being created twice.
Or is there something that I'm not understanding about how classes should work? I am new to classes and would appreciate an explanation why I'm getting this error.
The Code:
import maya.cmds as mc
from functools import partial
class MoveSelTool(object):
def __init__(self, *args):
pass
if(mc.window("ak_move_sel_tool_window", query=True, exists=True)):
mc.deleteUI("ak_move_sel_tool_window")
def build_window_UI(self):
self.window = mc.window("ak_move_sel_tool_window",
title="Move Selection Tool")
self.columnLayout = mc.columnLayout()
self.txt_directions = mc.text(align="left",
label="Directions: Input translation increment.\n")
self.rowColumn = mc.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=8)
self.txt_x = mc.text(label=" X: ",
align="right")
self.txtfld_x = mc.textField("mst_txtfld_x_value",
ann='input units to move X',
width=50)
self.txt_y = mc.text(label=" Y: ",
align="right")
self.txtfld_y = mc.textField("mst_txtfld_y_value",
ann='input units to move Y',
width=50)
self.txt_z = mc.text(label=" Z: ",
align="right")
self.txtfld_z = mc.textField("mst_txtfld_z_value",
ann='input units to move Z',
width=50)
self.txt_space = mc.text(label=" ")
self.move_btn = mc.button(label="Move")
#ui commands
mc.button(self.move_btn,
edit=True,
command=partial(self.move_selection))
mc.textField("mst_txtfld_x_value",
enterCommand=partial(self.move_selection))
mc.textField("mst_txtfld_y_value",
enterCommand=partial(self.move_selection))
mc.textField("mst_txtfld_z_value",
enterCommand=partial(self.move_selection))
#show ui
mc.showWindow(self.window)
def query_mst_user_input(self):
self.x_value = mc.textField("mst_txtfld_x_value",
query=True,
text=True)
self.y_value = mc.textField("mst_txtfld_y_value",
query=True,
text=True)
self.z_value = mc.textField("mst_txtfld_z_value",
query=True,
text=True)
return (self.x_value, self.y_value, self.z_value)
def move_selection(self):
self.mst_user_selection = mc.ls(selection=True)
self.mst_user_inputs = query_mst_user_input()
mc.move(self.mst_user_selection,
self.mst_user_inputs[0],
self.mst_user_inputs[1],
self.mst_user_inputs[2],
relative=True)
def show(self):
self.build_window_UI()
mst=MoveSelTool()
mst.show()
You forgot the edit flag to set ui command.
