[Closed] two functions for a button ??

look up ‘button’ in the maxscript reference and you’ll find that buttons have 2 event handlers. One for left click (on <button> pressed do) and one for right click (on <button> rightclick do)

EDIT: after reading your post again I think you’ll want to use the pickbutton rather than a standard button. pickbutton’s have 2 event handlers too. ‘picked’ and ‘rightclick’. Check the reference!

cool man, thanks !

i´ll check it and back soon with some inputs.

EDIT:

but let say if i need to select/deselect a bunch, by using CTRL/ALT ?
is it possible to do an array of buttons that stores objects ?
or is more simple to make a collection first, instead reference object to a button ?

i´m kinda lost…
oO?

You could make local variables for the rollout, one for each button, that will store whatever you need… then when you click or rightclick the button, you can store whatever in those variables.

Also a great time to use a struct or array.

thanks all guys !

i´ll be doing more research.

Look up “keyboard” in the MaxScript help file. In the button event handler just use some if/then statements to check for key presses and then run what you want.

on theButton pressed do
(
if keyboard.controlPressed (select stuff)
else if keyboard.altPressed (deselect stuff)
)

I use this all the time to add extra functionality to buttons, but it may or may not work for what you’re describing here.

you could also use an imgtag to function like a button and expose the extra mouse event handlers that it uses.

cool !
can i define a function and aplly it to the button ?

example:

 fn Kboard_pick = 
 if keyboard.controlPressed (select stuff)
  else if keyboard.altPressed (deselect stuff)
 
 on theButton pressed do Kboard_pick
 

i looked Up on the HELP abut Keyboard, but i didn´t seen any coments about using it with rightclick…

can you show me a example of it, please ?

thks.=)

sorry,
what do you mean STRUCT ?
