Box + user defiend field + link

Submitted by alexanderandersson on Tue, 2009-06-02 15:16

Yeah, i dont know much about this to be honest. But my guess is that this is something easy to do. Im not sure if i should add this in general scripting or here.
Anyway, here is a script made by blur.........

....basicly, when the script runs. it adds a box surrounding the object selected.
What i would want it to do is also that it links the new box to the selected object.
And also adds some code in user defined field on both objects. Some help or advice? Anything would do.
