[Closed] height cylinder controlled by current object

if you would do it manually you can wire the sphere’s Position parameter and the chylinder Height parameter.

with max script it looks like:

--delete objects
--c = cylinder radius:10 wirecolor:orange
--s = sphere radius:2 isselected:on wirecolor:green
paramWire.connect s.pos.controller[#Z_Position] c.baseObject[#Height] "Z_Position"

if you want to use relative position the best way is to link them both to the same parent or group them (what is almost the same):

g = group #(c,s)
g.pivot = c.pivot
setGroupOpen g on

Thanks Denis very kind from you!

ok, now if i want that the cs(cyl-sphere obj) reach the position of another new sphere? let say i have a sphere creator in xyz position and the cs object reach the position of the new sphere when i press the cs creator script.
thanks again

I think that your question is not very clear Andreseloy ! Or at least I cannot figure out what you want to achieve !

excuse me,look the image and thank in advance

So, you want both sphere&cylinder to move to a <NewSphere>’s position. Maybe
doing the following ?

s.parent = c 
c.pos = <NewSphere>.pos 

yes but for sure dont now how t use it…i was looking your previous help to me in the target and addtarget issue but only recently i noted that when you put the “target” in creation of the obj you have the look at autocatically there…
i really apreciated your effort Denis and also thanks acca88

delete objects
a = cylinder radius:5 height:30 wirecolor:orange
b = point pos:[0,0,30] wirecolor:green 

c = a.rotation.controller = lookat_constraint upnode_ctrl:0 target_axis:2
c.appendTarget b 100

s = a.height.controller = float_script()
s.addobject "source" (NodeTransformMonitor node:a)
s.addobject "target" (NodeTransformMonitor node:b)
s.setexpression "distance source target" 

that code dont do what i want …
this code was shared by Denis long time ago in some of my thread about vectors…
i made a little modification at the end of the code,i made first a new sphere(new obj) and then i press the button script and the position is in the new obj…i move the sphere to other pos and the cylnder follow to the new position but create another cylinder…
