Hi all
I want to do what I would consider a simple task and XSI is driving me crazy.
What I want to do is (in VB scripting I guess) parent one object to another.
Now these objects belong to a Model, (and I don't know the name of the model (because this will be aplied to a lot of different files and the Model name changes from file to file))
I wish I could do:
ParentObj "*.chest", "*.Cube"
but it doesn't let me..
In the end I got it working with:
SelectObj "*.chest"
Set oReturn = GetValue("SelectionList")
For Each r In oReturn
Set theChest = r
Next
SelectObj "*.Cube"
Set oReturn2 = GetValue("SelectionList")
For Each r2 In oReturn2
Set theCube = r2
Next
ParentObj theChest, theCube
But it seems crazy to do all that for such a simple thing.
What would be the right way to go about doing this?
I also would like to assign to a variable my selection. Like:
theChest = SelectObj "*.chest"
but ofcourse I can't do that... :( :( :(
What would the right format to do this be?
Help!!
Thanks
