Detailed Description

Animation messages.

This class is used to register callbacks for animation messages.

To remove a callback use MMessage::removeCallback. All callbacks that are registered by a plug-in must be removed by that plug-in when it is unloaded. Failure to do so will result in a fatal error.

static

AnimCurve keyframe edited callback.

This method registers a callback that is called whenever an a group of keys are modified.

The callback is invoked once per atomic change to single or group of keyframes. For example, if a user selects a group 5 of keys and moves them 5 units in the value axis, then a single callback event will be invoked with a MObject for each of the 5 keyframes. The MObjects can then be used in the MFnKeyframeDelta function set. Refer to MFnKeyframeDelta function set documentation for more info.

Parameters

[in] func the callback function

editedKeys an array of keyframes that were edited.
clientData User defined data passed to the callback function

Parameters

[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	status code

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

static

AnimCurve keyframe edited callback.

This method registers a callback that is called whenever an a group of keys are modified.

The callback is invoked once per atomic change to single or group of keyframes on the specified animation curve node. For example, if a user selects a group 5 of keys and moves them 5 units in the value axis, then a single callback event will be invoked with a MObject for each of the 5 keyframes. The MObjects can then be used in the MFnKeyframeDelta function set. Refer to MFnKeyframeDelta function set documentation for more info.

Parameters

[in]	animNode	the param curve node you want to watch.
[in]	func	the callback function

animNode The edited animation node.
editedKeys an array of keyframes that were edited.
clientData User defined data passed to the callback function

Parameters

[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	status code

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess Operation succeeded
MS::kInsufficientMemory No memory available
MS::kFailure Error adding callback

		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

static

AnimCurve keyframe edit check callback.

This method registers a callback that is used by the setKeyframe command to allow a user to consider the set keyframe request and cancel it if needed.

The callback method should return false to abort the keyframe setting.

Parameters

[in]	func	the callback function retCode return code from callback, setting this to false will abort the keyframe action plug the plug being keyframed clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	status code

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess Operation succeeded
MS::kInsufficientMemory No memory available
MS::kFailure Error adding callback

Example

This example callback will reject any changes to plugs including 'translate' in their name.

MAnimMessage m;
m.addAnimKeyframeEditCheckCallback( check_callback );
void check_callback(bool *retcode, MPlug& plug, void* clientData )
{
    // Don't allow any keys to be set on attributes with 'translate' in them
     *retcode = ( plug.name().indexW( "translate" ) == -1 );
}

MCallbackId addPreBakeResultsCallback	(	MMessage::MPlugsDGModFunction	func,
		void *	clientData = `NULL`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

static

Pre Bake Simulation callback.

This method registers a callback that is called from bakeResults command before the simulation.

One example usage is handle the runup to the first frame in a dynamic system. If plugArray is set to zero length in the callback, the baking will be aborted.

Parameters

[in]	func	the callback function plugArray the plugs to be baked. The plugs can be replaced, but must have the same number of plugs. modifier the DGModifier. Used if bakeResults command is undone or redone. clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	status code

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess Operation succeeded
MS::kInsufficientMemory No memory available
MS::kFailure Error adding callback

MCallbackId addPostBakeResultsCallback	(	MMessage::MPlugsDGModFunction	func,
		void *	clientData = `NULL`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

static

Post Bake Simulation callback.

This method registers a callback that is called from bakeResults command after the simulation.

If the plugArray is replaced, then the anim curves created from baking will be connected to the new plugs.

Parameters

[in]	func	the callback function plugArray the baked plugs to which the resulting anim curves will be connected. The plugs can be replaced, but must have the same number of plugs. modifier the DGModifier. Used if bakeResults command is undone or redone. clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	status code

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess Operation succeeded
MS::kInsufficientMemory No memory available
MS::kFailure Error adding callback

MCallbackId addDisableImplicitControlCallback	(	MMessage::MPlugsDGModFunction	func,
		void *	clientData = `NULL`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

static

Disable Implicit Control callback.

This method registers a callback that is called from bakeResults command after baking operation is completed, if disableImplicitControl is enabled.

One example usage of this callback is to create the anim curve that is used to drive Maya rigidbody's bakeSimulationIndex, which defines if the rigid body should take its input from anim curve or rigid body simulation.

Parameters

[in]	func	the callback function plugArray the baked plugs. modifier the DGModifier. Used if bakeResults command is undone or redone. clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	status code

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess Operation succeeded
MS::kInsufficientMemory No memory available
MS::kFailure Error adding callback

MCallbackId addAnimKeyframeEditedCallback	(	MObject &	animNode,
		MMessage::MNodeObjArray	func,
		void *	clientData = `NULL`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

static

This method is obsolete.

This method is not available in Python.

[from before Maya 2016]

Deprecated:: Use MAnimMessage::addNodeAnimKeyframeEditedCallback instead.

Parameters

[in]	animNode	the param curve node you want to watch.
[in]	func	The callback function.
[in]	clientData	User defined data.
[out]	ReturnStatus	Status code.

Returns: Identifier used for removing the callback.

void flushAnimKeyframeEditedCallbacks ( )

static

AnimCurve keyframe edited callback flush.

Animation keyframe edited callbacks are queued to only be issued on an idle event.

There may be times when it is desired to issue the callback at a specific time. This method provides this functionality. It will flush all animation keyframe edited callbacks and force them to issue their callbacks with the data contained within.

const char * className ( )

static

Returns the name of this class.

Returns: The name of this class.

The documentation for this class was generated from the following files:
