I'm trying the 'birth script' for scripting custom chunks. Used for creating Pflow fragments of objects. Example code is attached. Been referencing these links for help

Trying to modify this line in code to instead of finding objects named "object" in scene would take an array from multilistbox.

global ChunksArray = PFlow_ChunksArray --$Object* as array

Everytime I try this it doesn't work. Is this even possible to use listbox for ChunksArray or does it have to be listed as '$Object*'?

I guess you have to reference your listbox in a other way.
As long as PFlow_ChunksArray isn't a global variable the birthscript cannot access it.

something like:
<rollout_name>.<listbox_name>.items
But the rollout needs to be decared global, too.

Don't have the time to look deeper in the examples. Sorry.
