the problem is likely in a different part of your script. if you could provide the whole script, that might help us troubleshoot this for you. Otherwise it's difficult to say what might be causing the object to be deselected.

one thing you might do, though, is put the selection into a variable (let's say 'foo'), and use select foo as the last action your script takes. There are better ways, but this is the best I can do without seeing your script.

its messy, and only my second script, so its probably not laid out correctly, but it is what it is

Okay, the object is only being deselected if you happen to already have the controllers panel active when you press a button. I've attached a file that should fix this, along with some other recommended changes (added support for operating on multiple-object selections). Here ya go:

thanks a lot. :thumbsup:
