[Closed] Spinner question

In max, that’s just how it is, you’d have to call the changed handler yourself (here it could be for example sld1.changed sld1.value).

here’s my logic…apologies if it appears as if I’m regurgitating what Swordslayer is already saying…

you control the pos of the Teapot by saying $Teapot001.pos.x = blahblah, fine and good, all works in on sld1 changed val.

Now on btn1 pressed all you’ve done is changed the value of the SPINNER, you haven’t done anything to the Teapot.

Think the other way, if you take out the statement $Teapot001.pos.x = val in on sld1 changed val, then nothing works because you can update the spinner all day long but you’re not doing anything to the pos of the Teapot.

So logic is simple, you update the spinner value to 50, THEN, you must also update the pos of the Teapot.

So new code is: (just a 1 liner at the bottom)

rollout unnamedRollout "Untitled" width:162 height:200	
(
	spinner 'sld1' "Slider" pos:[2,15] width:136 height:44 range:[-100,100,0] align:#left 
	button 'btn1' "Button" pos:[30,84] width:78 height:61 align:#left --visible:off

	on sld1 changed val do
		(
		$Teapot001.pos.x = val	
		)
	on btn1 pressed  do
		(
		sld1.value = 50
		$Teapot001.pos.x = sld1.value -- update pos with value
		)		
)

CreateDialog unnamedRollout

Thanks to both of you for your answer and participation

vusta thanks for the code but i didn’t want to repeat the main code which here is —-$Teapot001.pos.x …—-
in the button section .

I think Swordslayer try to say this

rollout unnamedRollout "Untitled" width:162 height:200	
(
	spinner 'sld1' "Slider" pos:[2,15] width:136 height:44 range:[-100,100,0] align:#left 
	button 'btn1' "Button" pos:[30,84] width:78 height:61 align:#left --visible:off

	on sld1 changed val do
		(
		$Teapot001.pos.x = val	
		)
	on btn1 pressed  do
		(			
		val = 50
		sld1.changed val
		sld1.value =50	
		)		
)
CreateDialog unnamedRollout

Thank for your answers

well, told ya I’m a non scripter but now that that I see the logic…I think what Swordslayer meant was this

	on btn1 pressed  do
		(			
		sld1.value = 50
		sld1.changed sld1.value
		)

on sld1 changed val do
		(
		$Teapot001.pos.x += val	-- if you want to change the pos of the teapot with slider
		)
	on btn1 pressed  do
		(
                local vals= 50
		sld1.value = vals  -- or (+= vals ) to increment already assigned value each time you press the bton, like 50, 100,150,...etc
                $Teapot001.pos.x += vals -- could be subtitute with sld1.value
                -- if you want to change the pos of the teapot with button pressed
		)
