[Closed] Selecting the baseObject in an instanced object

So I have a wrapper for selection sub-object levels where if I select a level out of range for the current object (like modifiers), i drop down to the baseObject instead. However, when I select the baseObject for an instanced object the script will select the baseObject of a constant, specific instance, instead of the object I have selected.

To reproduce:

  • Create a box
  • Instance it
  • Apply a modifier

Then call ‘modPanel.setCurrentObject ($.baseObject)’ on either one of the boxes and you’ll drop down to the baseObject, but always on only one of them. Not the other, even when that object is selected when the code is executed.

Anyone know what the problem might be or maybe a different approach to do this? Thank you

Try this:

modPanel.setCurrentObject ($.baseObject) node:$

Ah, nice. That seems to correct it. Thanks!
