hi all im wondering if there is a script or something that can eather make me make hotkeys LIKE pickwalk keys up down left right, but will work on a ladder that i build my self

rather than going what i have up and down it in the hiarchy but go up and down a set hiarchy that i make in whatever order i want.. so if my harchy is all wierd (because of multiple controlls and skeletons and controllers etc.) if i pickwalk on the hand cntrol it goes somewhere other than the foarm controll wich goes somehwere else when i go back down..

does this make sence?

thanks so much for all the help everyone here is great!

you could just make a connection between objects in your "special hierarchy" with something liek the message attr to the isHistoricallyInteresting attr, then just write a script that looks for that connection and selects that object.
easy

Try Jason Schleifer's jsPickWalk (http://jonhandhisdog.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=207) :)

<--------6.894834-------->
:
:
+
when what i want it to do is look like this:

+<-------6.894834------->
