Hi,

I wanted to make my own shelf tool which can create a node inside all selected nodes, but then also connect it to the ‘display flagged’ node.

I was able to create a node inside all selected nodes, but not to make them connected.

import hou

nodes = hou.selectedNodes()

for n in nodes:  
    clean = n.node(".").createNode("clean")

    print(clean.path())

In the for loop I already tried some variations of: 
n.children()
or
chld = n.hou(".")...?


Also I tried using the:

soptoolutils.genericTool(kwargs, 'clean')
but that way only works on one single node, it does straightaway connect to the display flagged node though.

Anyone having a solution?

Thanks,
Chris

    print(clean.path())

    display = n.displayNode() # finds the node in this nework that has the Display Flag ON

    clean.setFirstInput(display) # wires the first input of clean to the output of display
