The code at the bottom of this script adds a listener, but when I change selection in the scene I get the error that changeRange is unknown on undefined.
So it seems SelectSO is unknown, but I added it in the previous line?
Also is it possible to close an existing rolloutfloater that was made in a previous run of the script?

thanks for your help
edit: when I use
on selectSO open do
(
print "addchangelistnr"
callbacks.addScript #selectionSetChanged "changeRange" id:#selectsoChangeObject
)
Inside the rollout, the listner is added but the changeRange function seems not to be fired (“changeRange” is not printed)
why do you change max number of spinners’ range? there are several reasons not do it:
#1) number of vertices usually higher than faces and edges anyway
#2) number of sub-objects might change during the editing
#3) changing the range of spinner clamps spinner’s value (reset the working settings)
#4) why do you not change the range of “Step” spinner as well?
I would use the max available number as max range (1e9).
but if nevertheless you want to control the range use #ModPanelSubObjectLevelChanged callback and when topology changes construct.

You’re defining SelectSO in a local scope. So the callback cannot access this variable.
Adding this before the rollout definition should help:
global SelectSO
it does help, no error anymore. However, changeRange still seems not to fire…
What else might be the problem?
Your callback string should be like this, with parentheses:
callbacks.addScript #selectionSetChanged "SelectSO.changeRange()" id:#selectsoChangeObject
Otherwise it’s just a reference to the function, rather than executing the function
Thanks a bunch, that worked.
Will post it here after polishing the rollout layout, so all can benefit from your tips.
edit: unfortunately I found another bug. Whenever chk1 is checked, an empty selection is made. Why?
I’m not sure if this is the cause of the issue, but the way you’re using the selection BitArray seems a bit odd to me. I would use an index instead of using append:
sel[i] = true
edit: tried it, and you can use append just fine. So never mind then
I just might do that, much simpler
[/i]
I can’t use that since the rolloutfloater variable goes out of scope when the script finishes. When I start the script again, ‘newroll’ is unkown. Maybe if I define global newroll…
The problem with the checkbox really baffles me. So simple…and yet not working.
edit: problem only occurs for the edit poly modifier, not the base object. Its still strange since the only difference is the way the sel bitarray is filled, not api calls.
edit2: solved. I realized I needed to use getselection for some reason so:
if chk1.checked then -- new selection
polyobj.setSelection subObjectLevel #{}
sel = polyobj.getSelection subObjectLevel
