Is there a way for me to get a selection and keep the selection order that the user made? When i query the selection list, it automatically sorts the list by the scene order.
So if character A is merged into the scene after character B, even if i select A first and then B, it returns B, then A.
currently i am using
selectedModels = FBModelList()

We dont keep the selection order in the FBModelList.
I dont know if this can help, but python list can be sorted…
Ie:
selectedModels.sort(lambda x,y: cmp(x.Name,y.Name))

Thanks for the reply,
I dont think that would do anything in this case, as i am looking for the users specific order of operations, not the alphabetized version. I just dont have any way of telling which item they selected first and which they selected second.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem. I’m working on a constraint script but to find which object is the child and parent requires a selection order. I could just have the user load each object into the GUI into a text field but that’s about the same as doing it the regular way in Motion Builder.

Not much of a solution, but more of a hack:
def getSelection():
lModelList = FBModelList()
FBGetSelectedModels( lModelList )
selectedModels = []
selectedNames = []
for l in lModelList:
selectedModels.append(l)
selectedNames.append(l.Name)
return selectedModels, selectedNames
def getOrderedSelection():
lUndo = FBUndoManager()
sel, selNames = getSelection()
selectionSize = len(sel)
orderedSeletion = []
if len(sel):
for i in range(selectionSize):
lUndo.Undo()
newSel, newNames = getSelection()
for s in range(selectionSize):
if selNames[s] not in newNames:
orderedSeletion.append( sel.pop(s) )
selNames.pop(s)
break
for i in range(selectionSize):
lUndo.Redo()
orderedSeletion.reverse()
return orderedSeletion
sel = getOrderedSelection()
I’ve had this in my snippets for a while. I copied the ol’ undo trick for ordered component selection from Maya that Anders Egleus wrote. It requires that you pick one node at a time though. Maybe useful?

That is a very nice hack. I was thinking and wanted to look at scene events, but this is for sure better idea!
Thanks for sharing!

Wow, way to get creative! Too bad we need to go through this method.
