Python Check Boxes

Hi All,

I am still brushing up on Python and thought I would share another example of some code I have created.

This code creates a cube but only if you check the check box in the User Interface.

Hope this helps in your projects too 🙂

import maya.cmds as cmds

#Creates variable to indecate the check box status. 1=Checked 0=Not Checked. 
cubeNum = 0

#Creates Button funtion. 
def defaultButtonPush(*args):
       #The Print checks if button is pushed and what is the check box status. 
       print "Button is pushed."
       print cubeNum
       #Check box argument finds the status of the variable and determines what to do. 
       #Eather create a cube or display a error dialog box.
       if cubeNum == 1:
        print "Cube Creation suessful"
        cmds.polyCube()
       else:
	 cmds.confirmDialog(t="Error",m="Cube will not be created."+ 'n' + 'Please check the box to create a cube.')

#Creates ui. 
cmds.window( title="Toms Cube maker",wh=(350,250) )
cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True )
#Creates Button.
cmds.button( label='Execute', command=defaultButtonPush ,align='left' )
#Creates check box. 
#In the onCommand Script (onc) and offCommand Script (ofc) flags all commands must be made in between double quotes.
cmds.checkBox(label='Cube',value=False,align='left',onc="cubeNum = 1", ofc="cubeNum = 0")
cmds.showWindow()
