Help importing Physics File

Help

Hi! I need to create a button that automatically imports a ragdol physics file. The code:

ri.import_physics()

will bring up the Import window. But I need to bypass this and just import a file in one click. What would be the code to do that? Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hi @PepLluis, it sure is. All items accessible via the menu is accessible via Python too. The command you’ve found is the UI command, the one that takes no arguments and brings up a UI, via the ragdoll.interactive module.

Instead, use the ragdoll.api module.

from ragdoll import api
api.import_physics(fname)

It takes an opts argument with start/end frame etc, have a look here for complete details, here’s a summary as of today.

from ragdoll import constants

opts = {
    "roots": [],
    "matchBy": constants.MatchByHierarchy,
    "searchAndReplace": ["", ""],
    "namespace": None,
    "preserveAttributes": True,
    "retarget": True,
    "overrideSolver": "",
    "createMissingTransforms": False,
}

api.import_physics(fname, opts)

All API functions can be found in api.py and more low level functions in commands.py
