Hi,

I'm trying to modify parameters of a node using python, based off the example on this page: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hom/tool_script [www.sidefx.com]

This is my code:

sphere = hou.node(“/obj/sphere1”)
current_tx = sphere.parm(“tx”).get()
print current_tx
sphere.parm(“tx”).set(5)

And this is the error I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “tool_1”, line 3, in <module>
AttributeError: ‘Parm’ object has no attribute ‘get’

I've tried in both the python shell and as a shelf tool and it's driving me mad.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm assuming you want to print out the current value of the parameter so try this:

current_tx = sphere.evalParm(“tx”)

Thank you, this works! Out of interest, do you know why the original .get() didn't?

has no get()
