Check State

By JokerMartini · 2011-03-26

Description

I have a script where I need to have a check state running through every object in the selection and if any of the objects are being used as a variable then DO NOT run the script.

This is what I have so far and it is not right.
Because if 2 objects are ok and 1 is a bad object, the script still runs, it does not stop after finding the bad one.

StartObj = $Sphere005 EndObj = $Sphere001 CheckSt = false

for i = 1 to selection.count do
(
obj = selection[i]
if (obj.name == StartObj.name or obj.name == EndObj.name)then
(
CheckSt = false
)
else
(
CheckSt = true
)
)

if CheckSt == false then
(
messagebox "Make sure the reference objects are NOT selected"
)
else
(
--Run Scripted Function Here
)

Alright I'll implement this version of it instead.
Thanks again Anubis.

if i see, this fn s'd be called per obj,
if so, the loop s'd be out of the fn, like...

fn getState obj = (
	not (obj.name == StartObj.name or obj.name == EndObj.name)
)

for obj in selection do
	if getState obj then ...

Thanks Garp,
I'll be sure to implement this.
I appreciate the help.

Run your code 'manually'.

At the end of the loop, your ChechSt variable will have its value set according to the last object tested.

Try this instead


fn state_ok = 
(
  for obj in selection do
    if (obj.name == StartObj.name or
        obj.name == EndObj.name) do return false
    
    return true
)
 
if state_ok() then 
(
	--Run Scripted Function Here
)
else messagebox "Make sure the reference objects are NOT selected"
