Subject: getting current time 2003-12-15 - By Berj Bannayan

Hi all,
Is there a better (more succinct) way to get the current frame than this?
double
getCurrentTime()
{
MSelectionList selection;
MObject time_node_obj;
MTime current_time;
MPlug out_time_plug;
selection.add("time1");
selection.getDependNode(0, time_node_obj);
MFnDependencyNode time_node(time_node_obj);
out_time_plug = time_node.findPlug("outTime");
out_time_plug.getValue(current_time);
return current_time.as(MTime::uiUnit());
}
This works fine but it seems a little cumbersome (especially when I add in
error checking). I feel like I'm missing something.
Thanks,
Berj
