What this script should do is, selecting all objects in that scene, depending on the type of the picked object. But somehow,no objects are selected. I guess, sth might be wrong within the for-clause, but up to now, I cannot find a solution for that.
Does anyone know, how to get around this?
edit: Got it
Hi brow, I´ve just changed 2 lines and I think it´s working now.
for pickedobj in geometry where (classof pickedobj == classOF obj) do
(
append newSel pickedobj
)
Hi tobi,
you shoudl take a look at collections:
newSel = for currObj in geometry where classof currObj == classof obj collect currObj
It is also a good practice to store your dialog in a global variable.
That way you can try to destroy it -> result is no duplicate dialogs cluttering your workspace

I’ll have a look at this, thank you rdg
This is, what I came up with:
macroScript test category:"tobyatwork"
(
rollout picnanobj "Select an object to rotate randomly" width:162 height:152
(
pickbutton btn1 "pick one object" pos:[17,57] width:128 height:24 toolTip:"select object type"
label lbl1 "Pick Objects" pos:[18,23] width:126 height:14
on btn1 picked obj do
(
btn1.text = obj.name
pickedobj = obj
local newSel=#()
for pickedobj in geometry where (classof pickedobj == classof obj) do
(
append newSel pickedobj
)
select newSel
for obj in selection do
(
rotate_x = 0 as integer
rotate_y = 0 as integer
rotate_z = (random -360 360) as integer
rotate obj (eulerangles (rotate_x) (rotate_y) (rotate_z))
)
)
)
createDialog picnanobj width:162 height:152
)
