root mel call for creating the vray displcement node (set)

[mr furious]

Hey all,

I'm looking for the root mel command that creates the vray displacment node for a tool that i'm writing. I've found this "vray object properties add_single VRayDisplacement" script... but i need something that returns the "result" aka name of the node created so i can rename or connect things to it down stream.

any help? End of the day i'll be converting this into a python script with a mel call...

thanks

Andy

Hi,
Why you do not do it manually ?
Like :

createNode VRayDisplacement;
sets....

For the moment, unfortunately the "vray" command does not return the newly created properties node(s). I've made a note to implement this, but for the moment, you'll have to use bigbossfr's suggestion and create it manually.

Best regards,
Vlado

thanks for the suggestion, but I am building it into a system that is looping though a set of selected objects. by not being able to have the created node returned by the command i have a tough time renaming it or not having a name flag available for the object. The error is high once my tool is out in production to conflict with existing nodes...etc.

for now i'll just leave it out of my script.
