I tried an other way just for fun :-).
//*********************** PickObject_S ******************* var
oPickedObjects = PickObject_S(new ActiveXObject("XSI.Collection"), "Pick
some Objects"); SelectObj(oPickedObjects);
function PickObject_S(collection, LeftMessage) {
var oPick = PickObject(LeftMessage);
if(oPick.value("ButtonPressed") != 0)
{
collection.add(oPick.value("PickedElement"));
PickObject_S(collection, LeftMessage)
}
logmessage(collection.count+" Objects Picked");
return collection;
}
//*********************** PickObject_S *******************
Cheers
