Node Selection order

[jmkintela]

I'm doing a loop to connect a bunch of color masks to blend nodes via python loop , but the connection occurs randomly and nost in order as one would expect... what's wrong?

this is the code

Code: [Select]

import sd
from PySide2 import QtGui
from sd.api.sduimgr import SDUIMgr
from sd.api.sdproperty import SDPropertyCategory
from sd.api.sdapplication import SDApplicationPath

class CompNodeCreator(object):
    def __init__(self):
        # Get app and UI manager.
        ctx = sd.getContext()
        app = ctx.getSDApplication()
        self.ui_manager = app.getQtForPythonUIMgr()
       
 
   
    def add_node(self, name, pos):
     
        # Get the comp graph.
        sd_graph = self.ui_manager.getCurrentGraph()
       
        # Create a node.
        node_def_id = 'sbs::compositing::{definition}'.format(definition=name)
        sd_node = sd_graph.newNode(node_def_id)
        sd_node.setPosition( sd.api.sdbasetypes.float2(pos[0],pos[1]))
       
        return sd_node

# Run


def NodeProps(node):
    nodePropsA = node.getProperties(SDPropertyCategory.Output)
    for i in range(len(nodePropsA)):
    print(nodePropsA[i].getId())
    print(nodePropsA[i].getType())
   
    nodePropsB = node.getProperties(SDPropertyCategory.Input)
    for i in range(len(nodePropsB)):
    print(nodePropsB[i].getId())
    print(nodePropsB[i].getType())

selection = uiMgr.getCurrentGraphSelection()
i = 300
i2 = 0
pos = [0,0]
n = {}

for e,node in enumerate(selection):
    print(pos)
    print(str(e))
    name = 'blend'
    blend = node_creator.add_node(name,pos)
    node.newPropertyConnectionFromId('output',  blend  ,'opacity')   
    pos[0] += i2
    pos[1] += i

The problem is that you cannot assume that the list of selected nodes is sorted in any specific order.

An alternative could be creating the blend nodes and set their positions relative to the input color mask nodes.

Thanks!, Ok I see!

Ok now it's Working!

Code: [Select]

import sd

        # Get the comp graph.
        sd_graph = ui_manager.getCurrentGraph()
        # Create a node.
        node_def_id = 'sbs::compositing::{definition}'.format(definition=name)
        sd_node = sd_graph.newNode(node_def_id)
        sd_node.setPosition( sd.api.sdbasetypes.float2( pos[0],pos[1]))
       
        return sd_node

Pos = [0,0]
PosOffset = [500, 50]
blends = []
Name = 'blend'

def Select():
    ctx = sd.getContext()

    selection = uiMgr.getCurrentGraphSelection()
Select()
for e,node in enumerate(selection):
   
    NodePos = node.getPosition()
    print(NodePos)
    Pos[0] = NodePos.x + PosOffset[0]
    Pos[1] = NodePos.y + PosOffset[1]
    print(Pos)
    NodeBlend = Add_Node(Name,Pos)
    blends.append(NodeBlend)
    node.newPropertyConnectionFromId('output',  NodeBlend  ,'opacity')
