Description

Hello,
I was wondering if I can get some help writing a script. I am new to this so hopefully someone can help me.
I am trying to write a simple script that populate a drop down list with some dummies I have selected in the scene. These dummies have some different transformation keyframes (position and rotation only). I want to be able to pick a dummy from drop down list and link an object to it.
Thanks.

Linking Objects

Hello, You could try to add a pickbutton to your interface, so that you could select a dummy in your dropdown list, then click on the pickbutton and pick another dummy in the scene to link it. You want to parent them or another type of link ?



dropdownlist ddlist_Dummies "Dummies" items:...
pickbutton pbtn_Children "Children"

on pickbutton picked obj do
(
pbtn_Children.object.parent = dummyArray[ddlist.selection]

--You probably have an array which contains your dummies, this is where you use selected items in your dropdown array to choose whick dummy to link--

)

Feel free to give some feedback if not working or if i misunderstood.
