UI button – parameters

[Szabadi Gergely]

Hi there,

I have a problem, and I would be grateful for some help. I would like to control am integer parameter with a UI button.

For example

I have an integer parameter called: n
button id=1
parameter script:

if glob_ui_button_id=1 then
parameters n=n+1
endif

Hi

Is the problem that parameter script is running more than once – therefore “n = n + 1” is not working as expected?

If so you have two possible solutions
1. Under details ‘Compatibility Options’ check the box ‘Run parameter script only once’

2. You could also use “APPLICATION_QUERY” to also make sure it only runs once

n = APPLICATION_QUERY (“parameter_script”, “firstoccasion_in_progress”, isFirstRun)
if isFirstRun then
// do stuff
endif

Hi!

Thanks for the respond. Sorry it doesn’t work for me. If I use the “application_query” then I get a missing comma error.
But I would like to show, what I am really into. I attached the gsm. with a UI picture, what I am working.

So…

I have a “n” (1-10) looped 3D obejct.
I have 10 surface parameter. I control them with array.
I would like that the user can control with UI BUTTONS (+, -) the n parameter so when I push “-” button it delete a row, but the essence is that I don’t want to delete the row, I only want that every material parameters value would jump one place + or -.

I hope I describe my problem well. I am so sorry, I get that it is not so much a forum theme rather my own defect that I cannot understand.

Thanks for any help

Add this to your code

parameters script

if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID <> 0 then
parameters n = n + GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID
GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = 0
endif

interface script

for i=1 to n
ui_button ui_function, “-“, _x2+200, _y, 20, 20, -1
ui_button ui_function, “+”, _x2+220, _y, 20, 20, 1
ui_style 0, 0 :ui_outfield “mat”+str(i, 1, 0) ,_x, _y :ui_style 0, 0 :ui_infield vari_mat_[i], _x2, _y-5, _sx-200, _sy :_y=_y+_d
next i

HTH 🙂

Dear Ben!

Yes it helped, thank you. But I still cannot understand how can I change values of an array in this example.
I tried this:

PARAMETER SCRIPT:

for i=1 to n
if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID <> 0 then
if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID<0 then
parameters n = n – 1
parameters vari_mat[i]= tempTexts[i-1]
endif
if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID>0 then
parameters n = n + 1
parameters vari_mat[i]= tempTexts[i+1]
endif
GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = 0
endif
next i

BASIC SCRIPT:

dim vari_mat[]
vari_mat[1]=mat1
vari_mat[2]=mat2
vari_mat[3]=mat3
vari_mat[4]=mat4
vari_mat[5]=mat5
vari_mat[6]=mat6
vari_mat[7]=mat7
vari_mat[8]=mat8
vari_mat[9]=mat9
vari_mat[10]=mat10

dim vari_mat_[]
vari_mat_[1]=”mat1″
vari_mat_[2]=”mat2″
vari_mat_[3]=”mat3″
vari_mat_[4]=”mat4″
vari_mat_[5]=”mat5″
vari_mat_[6]=”mat6″
vari_mat_[7]=”mat7″
vari_mat_[8]=”mat8″
vari_mat_[9]=”mat9″
vari_mat_[10]=”mat10″

dim tempTexts[]
tempTexts[1]= vari_mat[1]
tempTexts[2]= vari_mat[2]
tempTexts[3]= vari_mat[3]
tempTexts[4]= vari_mat[4]
tempTexts[5]= vari_mat[5]
tempTexts[6]= vari_mat[6]
tempTexts[7]= vari_mat[7]
tempTexts[8]= vari_mat[8]
tempTexts[9]= vari_mat[9]
tempTexts[10]= vari_mat[10]

dim tempTexts_[]
tempTexts_[1]= vari_mat_[1]
tempTexts_[2]= vari_mat_[2]
tempTexts_[3]= vari_mat_[3]
tempTexts_[4]= vari_mat_[4]
tempTexts_[5]= vari_mat_[5]
tempTexts_[6]= vari_mat_[6]
tempTexts_[7]= vari_mat_[7]
tempTexts_[8]= vari_mat_[8]
tempTexts_[9]= vari_mat_[9]
tempTexts_[10]= vari_mat_[10]

I just don’t figure out, how can I change of the values of an array.
