I sent this the other day but I didn't see it show up....

Hi  walksfar@(protected),

I haven't used the built in Synoptics for some time now; is
SynopticSelect() an XSI command? I don't remember it being in the SDK,
If this is indeed the case, your sub should throw an error similar to:
"Object Expected...". Can you post the Select function your using? Are
you getting error messages?


If your looking for somthing ultra simple, try selecting the object then
copying the generated line of code in the Script Editor into your sub.
Again, it has been a long time, so this could be wrong, but I think
"in_obj", in your sub, is equal to the synoptic's parent object in the
scene. If I am right, replace the model in the select code with
"in_obj.Model" It ill look something like this:

sub eff6( in_obj )
  SelectObj in_obj.Model & ".eff6";
end sub

I think the thing that would help you the most is to do some vbs tuts
in the area of subroutines, functions, and then trying you your
scripts straight form the script editor in XSI before tackling them in
the synoptic, it will make much more sense, will showcase better for
you what functions are being called, how to set them up, and give
better feedback.

Subject: Synoptic Editor Recap

Hello there, I have created my preview window for the
synoptic editor and I create hotspots in the areas in which I
would like to link it up to the scene object.  In this case
it is a effector of a chain.  I was informed to link the
object effector to the synoptic editor or vise versa to do the
following:

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


I put this code into the synoptic editor for one of the
hotspots and tried it.  It did not work, it didn't link with
the effector in this case "effector 6".  What am I doing
wrong ? I do not have the main synoptic HTML linking to
another HTML file as you can do, because I don't want that.
Can you please help me someone so I can understand the
synoptic editor and apply it to projects.

Thank You
