.py script works in Script Editor, but not from menu

[theta]

I have a little python script I wrote and it works fine when I run it from the Script Editor window inside Nuke. I saved it out as a .py and added it to my menu in the menu.py

If I run it from the menu it will only work the first time, every time after that i get syntax errors.

For example - RuntimeError: Syntax error at "'red'" referring to this line -

s1 = nuke.nodes.Shuffle()
s1['red'].setValue('red')

Anyone know what's up with this?

import nuke
def somthing():
s1 = nuke.nodes.Shuffle()
s1['red'].setValue('red')
if s1 is == True:
print ok
else:
return

You have to define your script for execute to run from menu.py. Change something to as per your wish.

import something add this line into your menu.py.

OK, I added a def something(): at the top and a something() at the bottom. And it worked again the first time only. Every time after that I get a syntax error at "red"

Try like this...

import nuke
def shuffleRedOnly():
s1 = nuke.createNode('Shuffle')
s1['red'].setValue('red')
s1['green'].setValue('red')
s1['blue'].setValue('red')
s1['alpha'].setValue('red')

n = nuke.toolbar('Nodes')
n.addCommand('Test/shuffleRedOnly', 'shuffleRedOnly.shuffleRedOnly()')
