This Macro needs a UI

By maxnix · 2017-06-20

Description

I made a macro of a repetitive task of attaching an object to a box. I would like to be able to choose the object to attach from a UI and then continue on with the rest of the macro.

Box lengthsegs:1 widthsegs:1 heightsegs:1 length:600 width:600 height:600 mapcoords:on transform:(matrix3 [1,0,0] [0,1,0] [0,0,1] [0,0,0]) isSelected:on
modPanel.addModToSelection (Edit_Poly ()) ui:on
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetOperation #Attach

:This is where I want to UI button to choose an object to selectand then continue with the rest of the macro once an object is selected.

$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Attach $hexwall4 editPolyNode:$
subobjectLevel = 5
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetSelection #Face #{}
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Face #{1..6}
actionMan.executeAction 0 "40020" -- Edit: Delete Objects
$.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].ButtonOp #DeleteFace

The Macro is to prep objects for export to UE
Any help is appreciated

Thanks
ME

Try this:


(
	global rol_AttachToBox
	try(destroyDialog rol_AttachToBox)catch()
	rollout rol_AttachToBox "Attach to Box"
	(
		local newBoxObj = undefined 
		button btn_crateBox "Create Box" width:140
		pickbutton pbtn_selectObj "Pick the Object" width:140
		
		
		on btn_crateBox pressed do
		(
			newBoxObj = Box lengthsegs:1 widthsegs:1 heightsegs:1 length:600 width:600 height:600 mapcoords:on transform:(matrix3 1) isSelected:on
			modPanel.addModToSelection (Edit_Poly ()) ui:on
		)
		
		on pbtn_selectObj picked obj do
		(
			if isValidNode newBoxObj do
			(
				if (iskindof obj geometryclass and canconvertto obj editable_mesh) do
				(
					newBoxObj.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetOperation #Attach
					
					newBoxObj.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Attach obj editPolyNode:newBoxObj
					subobjectLevel = 5
					newBoxObj.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetSelection #Face #{}
					newBoxObj.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Face #{1..6}
					actionMan.executeAction 0 "40020" -- Edit: Delete Objects
