hey guys, where can I get documentation on what commands are available with the engine plug in? so far I have found houdiniEngine and houdiniAsset. I want to write some mel scripts for hooking up meshes to assets, but in order to do so, I need to be able to do things such as return the newly created asset name, etc.
than you!
documentation for the mel commands available with the plug i

You probably want to use this to list out the assets from an OTL file:
houdiniAsset -listAssets $assetLibraryFilePath
And use this to instantiate the asset:
houdiniAsset -loadAsset $assetLibraryFilePath $asset
Note that the $asset needs to be the fully qualified asset name. The listAsset flag will return these names if you're unsure. For example:
houdiniAsset -loadAsset “/path/to/SideFX__compactcar.otl” “SideFX::Object/compactcar”
houdiniAsset -listAssets $assetLibraryFilePath
And use this to instantiate the asset:
houdiniAsset -loadAsset $assetLibraryFilePath $asset
Note that the $asset needs to be the fully qualified asset name. The listAsset flag will return these names if you're unsure. For example:
houdiniAsset -loadAsset “/path/to/SideFX__compactcar.otl” “SideFX::Object/compactcar”
