Objectreferenz to itself

[Cthulhu]

you can use $ to get the currently selected object(s), so $.pos.x gives you the x pos of the current object. but this will not work in scripted controllers as far as i know.

Yepp .. It works, but $ is like 'root'. So if you have more than one object it doesn't work.

I wanna make a script were the color of an object depends on it's position. But I can't use something like $object01.pos.x because when I duplicate it the second objekt have it's color from object01, what is wrong.
And I have to copy a lot of ;)

Is there any other way ?

if i understand you correctly, then you will need a loop that goes through each object:

objList = getCurrentSelection()
for obj in objList do
(
xpos = obj.pos.x
)

what this does is, in the first line gets the currently selected objects and puts them into a list. the for-loop will now do the following commands for every object in the objectlist, where obj is a reference to the object.

hope this helps you...
