Can I bind a custom Python state to SOP node? I mean node like PolyExtrude, not HDA. In Python script, I can activate custom state for any node. But if I exit the state and press Enter, the node's state is activated. I would like to automatically start my own state. Is it possible? There is no such information in the documentation.

C++ node states can not be replaced with a different state.

If remembering correctly I used a subnet and converted it to a rig pose. Then I think if you get the scene_viewer there is some merhod like enterDefaultState maybe. Can check later if you need it. So I got the rig handles activated like that. It is a bit hackish but works for me.

Thanks, but I don't need to activate the state with Python; the problem lies elsewhere. I was wondering if it's possible to attach a custom state, written in Python, to a node, which could then be activated by pressing Enter. I knew this was probably not possible, but I wanted to make sure by hearing an answer from the Houdini developers. I received a response

You can only do that with an HDA node by setting the `Default State` input field with the state type name.

Yes, I know and use this. Just having the ability to replace the state of a simple node with your own would be a fantastic opportunity
