Hi Guys;
[...]---------------------------------------------------------------------

This one is only works when a polysphere is allready in the scene.. I tried so many things but I have not been able to fix this problem so far.. I am sure that it is pretty easy..

I hope you are not kidding me. .... :)

You can also suggest me everything you want!

See, you soon;

It should be possible to choose the most recent by looking at the list of all such spheres and chose either the first or the last (not sure the order they are listed) in the list and control that one. That assumes they are retrieved in creation-order of some kind, of course. If you can't use that strategy, you'll have to create your own script to make a sphere and always use it. In THAT script, update a global variable with the sphere you just created. Have the slider control control the sphere in the global variable.

if(`window -exists windowUI`)
deleteUI windowUI;

window -title "SphereControler" -mxb off -wh 500 100 -sizeable off windowUI;

columnLayout -adjustableColumn on deleteThis;

button -l "Create Sphere" -c makeSphere;

global proc makeSphere()
{
polySphere;
string $selectedObj[] = `ls -sl`;
string $sI[] = `listHistory $selectedObj`;
deleteUI -lay deleteThis;
columnLayout deleteThis;
button -l "Create Sphere" -c makeSphere;
attrFieldSliderGrp -min -10 -max 10 -attribute ($sI[1] + ".radius");
}

showWindow windowUI;




Not sure if there's a better way. The button now creates the polysphere, finds the sphere's input node with the radius, deletes the layout and recreates the layout with a new button and slider for the last created sphere. Hope that helps.

Yes man . That is exactly What I am looking for. As I mentioned before, it is a simple command but my purpose is understanding the logic of MEL rather than creating usefull scripts.

I am inventing the script you sent me.. If I cannot figure out what the commands are, I am gonno ask you guys again...

Se you soon.

Ozioz..

Edit: OK.. Here I am again. I took a look at the script. İt is perfect. But When it appears on the screen first, there is no slider that will control the radius of the sphere which is created by the button on the window. I wanna achive this effects.

Hope You can help me on this stuff..

Have nice scripting!!
