Change Wirecolor on object selected ? //ScriptedModifier//?

Submitted by benjaminF on Thu, 2012-09-13 09:31

Hi !

May I ask you (you, all the MXS masters ;)) some things ?

I want to create a ScriptedModifier which changes the wirecolor of the object when it gets selected.

Is that possible with a ScriptedModifier ?

( Omg, my english is quite bad... :( sorry about that, I hope you can read me..)

Done

Hi !

So, the code you gave me works well, after a bit of tweaking I am able to achieve exactly what I wanted.

I'll release the script as soon as Im sure it is clean.

Thanks again miauu :)
