How To Scale Multiple Things At Once?

[hleo84]

Hi, I'm new to this MEL scripting thing and I'm trying to make something simple where I can select multiple objects and scale them all together with a slider. I'm lost on the part where I tell it to scale all of them from the string. I would gladly appreciate the help or little hints on how to do that. This is what I have so far.

if (window -exists myWindow) { deleteUI -window myWindow; }
window -rtf true -title "Scale" myWindow;

columnLayout;
floatSliderGrp -dragCommand "findValues" -minValue 0 -maxValue 50 -label "Joint Size" -field true getValue;
showWindow myWindow;

proc findValues()
{
float $myNumPosDef = floatSliderGrp -q -value "getValue";
string $cont[] = ls -sl;

setAttr $cont[].scaleX $myNumPosDef;

}

Hi,

you may try something like this:

[codebox]if (window -exists myWindow) { deleteUI -window myWindow; }
window -rtf true -title "Scale" myWindow;

columnLayout;
floatSliderGrp -dragCommand "scaleObjects" -minValue 0 -maxValue 50 -label "Joint Size" -field true myScaleSlider;
showWindow myWindow;

proc scaleObjects()
{
float $scaleFactor = floatSliderGrp -q -value myScaleSlider;
scale $scaleFactor $scaleFactor $scaleFactor;
}[/codebox]

As your objects are already selected, simply calling the scale procedure with the correct scaling factor should work.

Hope this helps.
K.
