howdy.

Im writing a script and I want to be able to assign a variable to a specific property of the selected mesh.

im selecting the mesh using pickbutton and i managed to get the WireParams dialog to appear but i couldnt return the, string i guess?

i was hopping it would return, for example, "$sphere01.position.x" and then i can assign my value to the x position of the sphere...

is this the way to go about it or is there another way?

thanks

ok, i managed to, from a picked object, use getPropNames to add the properties to an array... BUT, these do not include the controllers (position, rotation, scale)

i then added the array to a dropdown so i can select from that, all good, i do need the properties but i ALSO need the controllers... any ideas how to get them? (looking madly thru help files as i type)

I think that .subanim[ idx ]
may be a better way to do what you are trying? I forget tho...

Also you can do .controller
ie:
$mySphere.position.x.controller ;

should returns "bezier_xyz" or something like that.
