Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
deformerEvaluator is NOT undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
Print debug information about deformer evaluator status. In
query mode the debug information is returned as a string[],
otherwise the information is displayed in the script editor.
| string[] | the debug information when query mode is used. |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
active(act)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Modifier to specify that instead of the current selection all active
nodes on the GPU should be queried.
|
|
asNodeName(nm)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifier to specify that when a certain node attribute is queried it should
return the name of the node instead. This is useful when querying multiple
nodes at a time and the results need to be lined up with the node names.
|
|
asText(txt)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifier to specify that when the node state is queried the state should
be returned as text instead of a numeric code
|
|
chains(c)
|
boolean
|
|
|
List information about all supported deformation chains.
|
|
deformerChain(dch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Query the state of the nodes in the deformation chain of the specified meshes.
|
|
deformers(d)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Return a list of all currently registered GPU deformers.
|
|
dumpInfo(di)
|
boolean
|
|
|
List information about all supported deformation chains as JSON.
|
|
list(ls)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Return a list of nodes that are currently active on the GPU.
|
|
members(mbr)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Return the names of the nodes that are in the same cluster as the specified nodes.
|
|
meshes(m)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifier to specify that only meshes need to be queried.
|
|
message(msg)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Return the messages associated with the specified nodes.
|
|
nodeInfo(ni)
|
boolean
|
|
|
List all the information gathered during partitioning about the selected nodes
|
|
nodeStatus(ns)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Return the state of the node on the GPU. When queried it will return
a numeric code unless the asText flag is used as well.
|
|
partition(prt)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Flag to force a repartition (for debug purposes only)
|
|
verbose(v)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Print more verbose information of other flags.
|
|
|
Flag can appear in Create mode of command
|
Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
|
|
Flag can appear in Query mode of command
|
Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
