Pause/Resume a script?

[goleafsgo]

You should probably add a callback to your UI slider and then in the callback do whatever you need to do. But, no...the string you are declaring is local to the proc so what you have isn't going to work.

Looking at what you have there I think the attrFieldSliderGrp might be a control that you could use...try this example:


window -title "Attr Field Slider Groups";
string $objName[] = `sphere`;
columnLayout;
attrFieldSliderGrp -min -10.0 -max 10.0 -at ($objName[0]+".tx");
showWindow;

Thanks for the info,

How would I go about creating a callback?

I think this is an issue regarding variable scope. In your example, since $neededString is declared within the bloc of a procedure, it exists only within the scope of that proc. If you turn your proc into one that returns a string value, however, and input the return value into a variable which exists outside your proc, I think you will get what you're looking for. Here is a modified example:

global proc string test()
{
string $neededString = "needed";
float $neededFloat;

string $newWindow = `window -title "window1"`;
columnLayout;
floatSliderGrp -label "size"
-field true
-value 0
-minValue -10 -maxValue 10
rowLayout;
button -label "scale now" -command "$neededFloat = `floatSliderGrp -q -value myWin`; setAttr ($neededString + \".scale\") $neededFloat $neededFloat $neededFloat" myWin;


showWindow $newWindow;
return $neededString;
};

float $neededFloat;
string $neededString;
$neededString = test();
