MirrorControls doesn't work depends on ctrl name

[yohei_sunamura]

There may already be someone who has asked a similar question, but sometimes MirrorControls does not work correctly.
It seems that if the guide Name contains an uppercase L, it causes problems.

After reading mirror_controls.py, it appears that when searching for the symmetrical controller, the script replaces L and R across the entire name string.

The diagram is simplified, but in the case of a controller named ‘sleeveLong’, which contains an uppercase L, the right-side controller corresponding to ‘sleeveLong_L0_fk0_ctl’ should be ‘sleeveLong_R0_fk0_ctl’.

However, due to the global replacement, the generated name becomes ‘sleeveRong_R0_fk0_ctl’, which results in the symmetrical controller not being found.

You didn’t ask a question.

But yes, this is what the code does, and has for many years. I quickly learned to avoid uppercase R and L in my guide names.

Alternatively, you could modify the code yourself to only replace the correct portion of the string.

Thank you and sorry not to ask a question
I was not sure I can ask for changing mirror_controls.py

I modified a part of mirror_controls.py like below
It is really brute force but it worked in my situation

def get_opposite_control(node):
    side_l = node.attr("L_custom_side_label").get()
    side_r = node.attr("R_custom_side_label").get()
    side = node.attr("side_label").get()

    target_name = None
    # ======================================================================
    guide_name = node.name().split('_')[0]
    tail_name = '_'.join(node.name().split('_')[1:])
    # ======================================================================
    if side == "L":
        # ==================================================================
        target_name = '_'.join([guide_name, tail_name.replace(side_l, side_r)])
        # ==================================================================
        # target_name = node.name().replace(side_l, side_r)
    elif side == "R":
        # ==================================================================
        target_name = '_'.join([guide_name, tail_name.replace(side_r, side_l)])
        # ==================================================================
        # target_name = node.name().replace(side_r, side_l)

    if target_name and pm.objExists(target_name):
        return pm.PyNode(target_name)
    return None
