Built a couple of fun Python Scripts!

So it turns out that if you slam your head against your keyboard for long enough, Python starts to make just a slight bit of sense. Below are the results of my labors. Enjoy them while I go find a bucket of Tylenol:

"""

Quinn's Maya to UDK Units Calculator!

Just select a mesh and run this to see how big your mesh will be in feet on the X, Y, and Z axis in UDK!!

"""

# Import the Maya Command List.
import maya.cmds as cmds

# The selected object is True.
selected = cmds.ls(sl=True)\

# Query the object's dimension data.
xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax = cmds.xform(selected[0], q=True, ws=True, bb=True)
    
# Get the XYZ length in Maya Units.
width = abs(xmax - xmin)
height = abs(ymax - ymin)
depth = abs(zmax - zmin)

# Divide said numbers by 16. (Which gives you their length in UDK Units)
udkWidth = width / 16
udkHeight = height / 16
udkDepth = depth / 16

# Display the results in a polite, easy-to-read fashion!

print '\n', 'In UDK, this mesh is..', '\n', '\n', udkWidth, ' Unreal Units(feet) on the X Axis!', '\n', '\n', udkHeight, ' Unreal Units(feet) on the Y Axis!', '\n', '\n', udkDepth, ' Unreal Units(feet) on the Z Axis!'

And here's the other one:

'''

This script deletes unknown nodes from a scene even if they are locked!

'''

# Imports the Maya commands.
import maya.cmds as mc

# Imports the system.
import sys

# Unknowns equal nodes specified by Maya as 'unknown'
unknowns = mc.ls(type='unknown')

# Now, if they are unknown..
if unknowns: 

    # Unlock the locked unknown nodes.
    mc.lockNode(unknowns, lock=0)
    
    # Delete those nodes.
    mc.delete(unknowns)
    
    # Set any new unknown nodes that (for some reason) might be created to unknown.
    unknowns = mc.ls(type='unknown')
    
    # If there are no unknown nodes in the scene, write:
    if not unknowns:
        sys.stdout.write('All unknown nodes have been deleted!')
        
    # Otherwise, if there STILL ARE unknown nodes in the scene, write:
    else:
        sys.stdout.write('How odd, somehow not all the unknown nodes were deleted..')
        
# If there are no unknown nodes in the scene to begin with, write:
else:
    sys.stdout.write('lol, you silly! There are no unknown nodes in this scene!')

Ah, sweet, sweet progress! Until next time!
