Anyone know Python? Technical question.

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Does anyone know how to call a function thats defined with in a class? I've tried myclass.myfunction() but that doesn't seem to work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That should be about right. Are there any parameters you need to specify, such as myclass.myfunction(var1)? What error message are you getting?

Oh yeah, and have you imported the class in your script?

error:
File "/Users/Elephant_Inc/Desktop/PhAT/main.py", line 270, in <module>
commText.update(timer)
TypeError: unbound method update() must be called with commText instance as first argument (got int instance instead)

My class is commText and the function is update (that needs the timer variable)
this is the line I'm using to call it: commText.update(timer)

looks like you have not instantiated the commText class unless it is a static class you must instantiate it.

I have used python bit the syntax would be something like...

...
x = commText()
x.update(timer)
...
