TB1 Week 4

this week we start to learn more about functions and exped on the window GUI  last week by creating a function first we did tasks on the website W3Schools  help us to have a better understanding of how the  function work  we then made a function that had GUI that spwarned a cube that moved across  the screen   the code for this is:

import maya.cmds 

def Create_Animation(Animation_Range):

 cube=cmds.polyCube()

    for i in range(Animation_Range):

        cmds.currentTime( (i+1)*10, edit=True )

        cmds.setKeyframe(cube,v=i, at="translateX")

Range = 10     

if cmds.window( "my_Window", exists = True):

    cmds.deleteUI("my_Window")

window = cmds.window("my_Window", title="Long Name", iconName='Short Name', widthHeight=(200, 55) )        

cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True )

cmds.button( label='Create Animation' , c = "Create_Animation(Range)" )

cmds.button( label='Close', command=('cmds.deleteUI(\"' + window + '\", window=True)') )

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.showWindow( window )

we used the same code to make the window GUI but create a function that could be called upon when the button is pressed first you need to name the function so that the buttons knows what to call when the buttons is pressed, then we tell what we wanted to make a cube with "cube=cmds.polyCube()"  then we define it  with

 for i in range(Animation_Range):

        cmds.currentTime( (i+1)*10, edit=True )

        cmds.setKeyframe(cube,v=i, at="translateX")

Range = 10   

this set who long we want the animation and  how far it will move when the code is executed
