Hello

I'm trying to add variables to the "Variable" window inside "Aliases and Variables"

This is the code i have so far.

import hou

fullFilepath = hou.hipFile.path()
project = fullFilepath.split("/")
step = fullFilepath.split("/")
assetType = fullFilepath.split("/")
asset = fullFilepath.split("/")
step = fullFilepath.split("/")
hou.putenv('PROJECT', project)
hou.putenv('STEP', step)
hou.putenv('ASSET_TYPE', assetType)
hou.putenv('ASSET', asset)
hou.putenv('STEP', step)


This code fixes so i can use the variables like "$SHOT" inside Houdini, but they don't get added to the list of variables :/

Does anyone have a python solution for this?

Crossing fingers for some wisdom and wise words

Your issue is that hou.putenv() is only creating local variables. Only global variables show up in the Aliases and Variables window and are saved in the file. Unfortunately hou.putenv() still doesn't provide a way to create global variables so you're forced to rely on hou.hscript() calls using 'set -g' to do this via Python:

Thank you for the quick reply

It worked like a charm!
