multiple attr syntax

[ajk48n]

1st question:

string $object[] = `sphere`;
string $window = `window -title "attrFieldGrp Example"`;
columnLayout;
attrFieldGrp -attribute ($object[0] + ".scale");
showWindow;

That will give 3 fields that are connected to scale. If you want to use the slider, then I think you need 3 different sliders.

attrFieldSliderGrp -l "ScaleX" -min 0 -max 50 -at ($object[0]+ ".scaleX") areaSliderX;
attrFieldSliderGrp -l "ScaleY" -min 0 -max 50 -at ($object[0]+ ".scaleX") areaSliderY;
attrFieldSliderGrp -l "ScaleZ" -min 0 -max 50 -at ($object[0]+ ".scaleX") areaSliderZ;


2nd Question"

if (`objExists box`) {
print "YES";
}
else {
print "NO";
}

Note: If there's only one statement under the if or else statements, you don't need the brackets.

If you use a floatSlider instead of an attrFieldSliderGrp, you can tell that slider to affect the X Y and Z rotations with the "-changeCommand" or "-dragCommand" flags.

>> ajk48n Thanks so much man - it worked like a charm! :beer:

>> dwalden74 That sounds like a good method, would it be possible for an example? Please Please pretty Please?

[dwalden74]

sphere -n "sphere";

window winTemp;
columnLayout;
floatSlider
-dc "setAttr sphere.sx `floatSlider -q -v sliderTemp`;\
setAttr sphere.sy `floatSlider -q -v sliderTemp`;\
setAttr sphere.sz `floatSlider -q -v sliderTemp`;"
sliderTemp;
showWindow winTemp;

[Scott212]

is there a way to check if multiple objects exist without running the procedure each time? I'm trying string arrays with no luck. :annoyed:

[ajk48n]

Try this:

string $test[];
$test[0] = "box";
$test[1] = "asd";
$test[2] = "cube";

int $i;

for ($i = 0; $i < size($test); $i++)
{
if (`objExists $test[$i]`)
{
print ("\n" + $test[$i] + " YES");
}
else
{
print ("\n" + $test[$i] + " NO");
}
}
