How define current selection type?

[Xsinode]

Hi i need some help.
Now i'm use three simple scripts for quick toggling from object filter to vertex/edge/polygon filter.

This example of Object/vertex toggle script. For each hotkey i'm use single script

Code: Select all

currFilter = selection.filter;
if ( currFilter.name == "object" )
 SetSelFilter ( "Vertex" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Vertex" )
 SetSelFilter ( "object" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Edge" )
SetSelFilter ( "Vertex" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Polygon" )
SetSelFilter ( "Vertex" );

And i want make this toggle sense to selection type (polymesh, surfacemesh, curve).
For example: if i'm select polymesh (avalible point/edge/polygon filters for toggling), if curve (avalible point, isopoint, knot for toggling) and etc
But i dont uderstand how i can get current selection type?

Maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

currFilter = selection.filter;
currType = selection.type;
if (currType == "polymesh")
{
if ( currFilter.name == "object" )
 SetSelFilter ( "Edge" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Edge" )
 SetSelFilter ( "object" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Polygon" )
SetSelFilter ( "Edge" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Vertex" )
SetSelFilter ( "Edge" );
}
if (currType == "crvlist")
{
if ( currFilter.name == "object" )
 SetSelFilter ( "Isopoint" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "isopoint" )
 SetSelFilter ( "object" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Knot" )
SetSelFilter ( "Isopoint" );
else if ( currFilter.name == "Vertex" )
SetSelFilter ( "Isopoint" );
}

And second question about scripting. I have script for quick subdivision level toggling

Code: Select all

Dim objSelected, intSubDLevel, intNewLevel

Subdivide

Sub Subdivide

	Set objSelected = SIFilter( null, "sceneobject", true, siQuickSearch )

	If typename(objSelected) = "Nothing" Then
		objSelected="Nothing"
		LogMessage "Clear selection "
		Exit Sub
	Else
		intSubDLevel = GetValue (objSelected & ".geomapprox.gapproxmosl")
		' LogMessage "SubD Level : " & intSubDLevel
		
		If intSubDLevel => 4 Then
			intNewLevel = 0
		Else
			intNewLevel = 4
		End If	
	End If
	
	' sets the selected object's sub-d level
	SetValue objSelected & ".geomapprox.gapproxmosl", intNewLevel

End Sub

How i can fix multiple selection error (for example if i'm select 2 objects with different subdiv level script set value to 0)

Thanks for reading

You can check the selection type, but it will fail if nothing is selected... What you need is toggle the selection filter instead (python).

Code: Select all

from sipyutils import si
si = si()

filters = {
    "object": "Vertex",
    "Vertex": "Edge",
    "Edge": "Polygon",
    "Polygon": "Vertex",
}

si.SetSelFilter(filters.get(si.Selection.Filter.Name))

Cheers!
