bugs in custom script.

Submitted by roosterMAP on Wed, 2013-10-16 13:34

wrote a handy little script that helps me navigate through my stack upon execution. It checks to see where I am in the stack and moved to the lower modifier. When it reaches the root, it goes back the the top of the stack. The main problem is that when it reaches the bottom of the stack (and the bottom of the stack is an editable poly), it cannot seem to go back to the top. Also, when I have instances of an object and I run the script on one of them, it selected the next modifier on the other object. Here is the source code of the script. Plz help:

(
	try
	(
		i = modPanel.getModifierIndex $ (modPanel.getCurrentObject()) --if cannot initialize, then root is reached
			print i
	)
	catch 
	(
		--reached root
		i = 999
		print i
	)
	if(i<$.modifiers.count) then
	(
		--next
		i=i+1
		modPanel.setCurrentObject $.modifiers[i]
	)
	else if(i==999) then
	(
		--back to top
		i = 1
		modPanel.setCurrentObject $.modifiers[i]
	)
	else
	(
		modPanel.setCurrentObject $.baseObject
	)
)

try(destroyDialog ::msRoll)catch()
rollout msRoll ":)"
(
	fn setMody obj mode: =
	(
		if getCommandPanelTaskMode() != #modify do setCommandPanelTaskMode #modify
		if (cnt = obj.modifiers.count) == 0 then modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.baseobject else
		(
			case mode of
			(
				#top: modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.modifiers[1]
				#up:
				(
					if isKindOf (mody = modPanel.getCurrentObject()) Modifier then
					(
						if (idx = modPanel.getModifierIndex obj mody) == 1 then modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.baseobject
						else modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.modifiers[idx-1]
					)
					else modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.modifiers[cnt]
				)
				#down:
				(
					if isKindOf (mody = modPanel.getCurrentObject()) Modifier then
					(
						if (idx = modPanel.getModifierIndex obj mody) == cnt then modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.baseobject
						else modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.modifiers[idx+1]
					)
					else modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.modifiers[1]					
				)
				#bottom: modPanel.setCurrentObject obj.baseobject
 
			)
		)
	)
