Hello,

Can you help me to get the result of the shotgun find output. I can see anything in work_item.data.allDataMap or parent_item.data.allDataMap.

Thank you

Hi Clément, how did you setup SG to work with TOPs? I can´t find a way to make it work. Thanks and sorry to use your post to ask a different question.

Hi,

You have to set the environment variables PDG_SHOTGUN_LOGIN to your Shotgun username, PDG_SHOTGUN_PASSWORD to your Shotgun password and PYTHONPATH to the shotgun api path. Normaly after that your shotgun session node should work.

Yeah, I´ve added them, but I´m still getting errors (houdini doesn´t find the path to the API). In my “PYTHONPATH” variable (on the system), I added the path to “\\python-api\\shotgun_api3”. Is that correct?

Can you “import sgtk” in python shell?

Yes, inside houdini´s python shell I can. I´ve shotgun running and SG python tab open inside houdini. But I still get error´s saying that Houdini can´t find SG API. As I posted, I pointed out the “PYTHONPATH” environment to the “shotgun_api3” folder. Is that correct? Do I need to add extra folders to the environment?

Got it. Was a problem with the pythonpath. Thanks for the help, and I hope someone can help you too!

Hello,

Thank you

The reason that you can't find the output in the data map is that the Shotgun node is attaching the output as result data, which is a separate entity from the attribute data.

If you want to extract the information in the Python Script node and attach the information as attributes, you could do something like this:

entity_types = pdg.resultData(parent_item, "shotgun/find_entity_type", as_list=True)
entity_dicts = pdg.resultData(parent_item, "shotgun/find_entity_dict", as_list=True)
entity_ids = pdg.resultData(parent_item, "shotgun/find_entity_id", as_list=True)

for x in xrange(0, len(entity_ids)):
    work_item.data.setInt("entity_ids", int(entity_ids[x]), x)
    work_item.data.setString("entity_types", entity_types[x], x)
    work_item.data.setString("entity_dicts", entity_dicts[x], x)

This will grab 3 distinct lists of result data from the upstream work item, where each list corresponds to a tag. It then iterates over the number of returned entities, and adds the information as attributes.

Thanks a lot! That's exactly what I wanted. I just have to put the results in different index, thanks again.
