problem getting value of text field

[goleafsgo]

Try getting rid of the global variables and the passing in of the values to your makeSphere proc. Instead, just query for the values in the makeSphere proc.

So instead of having global var's which you want to hold the values, make the name of the UI elements global strings, or really specificly named in order to avoid naming conflicts, and then do the query and create your sphere.

Does that make sense? So your makeSphere would look sorta like:

global proc makeSphere()
{
global string $name_field;
global string $move_field;
global string $scale_field;

string $query_name_field;
float $query_move_fieldX;
float $query_move_fieldY;
float $query_move_fieldZ;
float $query_scale_field;

$query_name_field = `textFieldGrp -query -text $name_field`;
$query_move_fieldX = `floatFieldGrp -query -value1 $move_field`;
$query_move_fieldY = `floatFieldGrp -query -value2 $move_field`;
$query_move_fieldZ = `floatFieldGrp -query -value3 $move_field`;
$query_scale_field = `floatSliderGrp -query -value $scale_fi;

...then create the sphere using the values
}
