Toggles Overrides, Question

[dariosaquetti]

Hello All

I am trying to create 3 toggles, A,B,C and when A is on it turns the others off. B on the rest off, C on the rest off.

I wrote this code, but somehow it isn't working fully. Just works when I click on A, it deactivates the rest, but not on B or C. Not sure why it isn't working . I'd be grateful if you can help. I am far of being the best coder. 

Thanks!

 

int toggleA = chi("ToggleA");

int toggleB = chi("ToggleB");

int toggleC = chi("ToggleC");

if (toggleA == 1) {
   
    toggleB = 0;
    toggleC = 0;
} else if (toggleB == 1) {

    toggleA = 0;
    toggleC = 0;
} else if (toggleC == 1) {

    toggleA = 0;
    toggleB = 0;
}

setattrib(0,"detail","toggleA", 0, 0, toggleA );
setattrib(0,"detail","toggleB", 0, 0, toggleB );
setattrib(0,"detail","toggleC", 0, 0, toggleC );

Hey,

what you want is a mutually exclusive button strip.

If you really need separate buttons for your UI, that would still be possible.
I would try using the Callback Script to disable the other buttons.

Thanks. I think the button strip would be sufficient for now, using a switcher. I'd probably implement  a more elegant solution, with a call back script if I could.  

Cheers!
