Hi,

I'm know how to wire custom attribute(added to modifier like PEN Attribute Holder 2) and bend angle(for example), but I 'm wondering how it's possible to wire parameters to custom dialog parameters coz there is no "right click and wire parameter..." option.

rollout AAA "AAA" width:50 height:105
(
slider sld1 "Slider" pos:[6,4] width:40 height:99 orient:#vertical
)createDialog AAA 50 105
There is simple dialog with slider, where I want to wire parameter of bend(for example).

If you know how to do this, please let me know!
Thanks.

OK, I solve this problem!!! Here is simple script.

rollout AAA "AAA" width:50 height:105
(
slider sld1 "Slider" pos:[6,4] width:40 height:99 orient:#vertical

on sld1 changed val do
try ($Cylinder01.modifiers[#Bend].BendAngle = sld1.value) catch()
)
createDialog AAA 50 105

Scripting is fun:bounce:

Hmm... I found little problem with this style of controlling.
I tested to animate bend angle with my floating dialog slider and realized terrible thing. All animation keys are keyed to bend modifier directly! Is it possible to key only slider so I don't have to search Cylinder01 -> Bend modifier -> Angle... always when I want to tweak my curves?
