Return the value of a field inside this record, or None if no such field exists.

Note that you can add the suffixes “x”, “y”, and “z” to a vector field’s name to access the individual float values.

# The following code assumes you have created a box from the shelf and used
# Rigid Bodies > RBD Object on the shelf to make it a rigid body.
>>> record = hou.node("/obj/AutoDopNetwork").simulation().findData("box_object1/Forces/Gravity_gravity1").options()
>>> record.fieldNames()
('force', 'handlepos')
>>> record.field("force")
<hou.Vector3 [0, -9.80665, 0]>
>>> record.field("forcey")
-9.8066501617431641
>>> record.fieldType("force")
fieldType.Vector3
>>> record.fieldType("forcey")
fieldType.Float

This example function creates a dict out of a record:

def recordAsDict(record):
    return dict((field_name, record.field(field_name))
        for field_name in record.fieldNames())

The following function returns the geometry transform of an object:

def dopGeometryTransform(dopnet_node, object_name):
    subdata = dopnet_node.simulation().findObject(object_name).findSubData("Geometry")
    return subdata.record("Transform").field("transform")

Return the names of all the fields inside this record. See hou.DopRecord.field for an example.

Return a hou.fieldType enumerated value that describes the type of data stored in a field. Returns hou.fieldType.NoSuchField if no field exists with that name.

See hou.DopRecord.field for an example.

Return the index of this record. See hou.DopData.record and hou.DopData.records for more information.

Return the name of this record. See hou.DopData.recordTypes for more information.

Set a field to the specified value. You would call this method from a script solver DOP. value may be an int, float, str, hou.Vector2, hou.Vector3, hou.Vector4, hou.Quaternion, hou.Matrix3, or hou.Matrix4.

Unfortunately, this method cannot be used to set a field to a boolean (True or False) value. If you pass a boolean to this method, it will set the field to the integer 1 or 0. To properly set it to a boolean value, use hou.DopRecord.setFieldBool.

Raises hou.PermissionError if called from outside a script solver DOP.

Set a field to the specified boolean value. You would call this method from a script solver DOP.

To set a field to a different type, use hou.DopRecord.setField.

Raises hou.PermissionError if called from outside a script solver DOP.
