Hi all,
First post here and I’m a bit of a newbie with Maxscript but I’ve run into something I just haven’t been able to solve or find much info on. :banghead:
This is a way dumbed down version of my script but it illustrates the problem trying to have a B1 in Rollout 2 update a UI item state in Rollout 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(
local isVar1 = false
local isVar2 = false
on execute do
(
floaterRA = newRolloutFloater "Test Floater" 220 300
rollout rollout1 "Rollout1"
(
checkbox cb1 "CHECKBOX1" checked:isVar1
on cb1 changed state do isVar1=state
)
rollout rollout2 "Rollout2"
(
checkbox cb2 "CHECKBOX2" checked:isVar2
button b1 "ALL ON"
on cb2 changed state do isVar2 = state
on b1 pressed do
(
Var1 = true; Var2=true
cb1.state = Var1 --<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
cb2.state = Var2
)
)
addRollout rollout1 floaterRA
addRollout rollout2 floaterRA
)
)
Controls are children of their rollout. To access controls on another rollout, just precede their name with the name of the rollout. In your example:
rollout1.cb1.state = var1
The code will fail if the external rollout is not initialized, so it’s best to add a check for that.
Thank you so much for the response. I had tried that unsuccessfully before posting but have since figured it out. The rollout variables need to defined as local so a
local rollout1
local rollout2
at the top + the rollout1.cb1.state = var1 did the trick.
Thank you.
