Synoptic View setting up Code

Firstly, there is a section of code that defines the "SynopticSelect"
function on the default synoptics, under the heading "Helper functions" (
there's a nice little selection collision function in there as well, worth
keeping.)
Looks like you may have deleted that section of code and so the software
doesn't know what "SynopticSelect" is.
If that is the case you can just cut and paste the missing code onto the
bottom of your synoptic code.

Secondly it looks like you are trying to specify a sub routine called:

SelectObj "eff6", , True

...that looks suspiciously like a piece of code that has been cut and pasted
from the script editor. All you need to do is specify a name for the sub,
(something that is going to make sense when you read the code later).

-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
sub eff6(in_obj)
SynopticSelect in_obj, "eff6"
end sub
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----

that should do it. The coding in the standard synoptics are quite logical so
try and keep you code in a similar format if you are just starting out.

Hello, I reviewed the synoptic rigs and I've got it somewhat figured out.
Here is the code I have to link a hotspot to a object in this case an
effector of a chain but it does not work what am I missing?
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
SelectObj "name of object", , True

sub SelectObj "eff6", , True
SynopticSelect (in_obj), "eff6"

end sub
