[Closed] Problem applying CASpinner as Track to a scriptController

still stuck on this one. i tried this:

 scriptNode.addTarget "spinner1" objNode.modifier[#Attribute_Holder]
 

and in the script i wrote…

 spin1 = spinner1.ca.spinner1
  

to get its value, but changing the spinner wont get updated by the script controller. I just dont understand why its manually possible to add a CA spinner as target when its not an object or subAnim. Please help!

$ScriptNode.addTarget "Name" Node.modifier[#Attribute_Holder].ca_def.Spinner1.controller

but in CA definition you have to define default controller for this spinner

EDIT: forget what i wrote here

but in CA definition you have to define default controller for this spinner

Not sure i get you. Do you mean something like this in the parameter block?

Spinner type:#float ui:uiSpinner default:controller

applying the spinner manually as track and then typing…

scriptNode.getTarget "Name"

…tells me that the Target is a SubAnim track. Obviously not when i get this error message after applying addTarget

Runtime error: IScriptCtrl::AddTarget - Target needs to be object or subAnim, got: 100.0

i’m confused…

You need to first add a bezier float controller to your spinner. Then assign the target of your script controller to be that bezier control.

Thanks Matt, thats exactly the info i needed
