selected objects order

[lb]

Is there a way to get a list of the selected objects in the same order they were (mouse-)selected, not by their name?

thanks.

AFAIK, there's no selected order. There's just a difference between Active and Selected (which are independant states btw).

ARGHHH !!! too bad.

I'm -trying- to add an object alignment fonctionality.
The idea is to align the objects on a line defined by 2 'static' ones (not only X, Y or Z axis). The two 'static' objects would have been the first and the last selected objects...

It works quite well, but only with the first and last created, which makes my fonctionality quite unusable...

Any idea ?

find the selected object that's the farest from the active one and assume that's the one to align to.

This only could be a palliative solution.

Is there a way to ask the user to select one object to set the other reference (with the active one) ?

thanks.

In blender all tools are actions.
User selects stuff and then aplies an action.

Your function should stick to that rule (I think).
So, because we cannot have two objects active you are in trouble.

Another dirty solution would be to set a "I'm an aligner" flag.
select an object and make it an aligner (by pressing a button orso)
select lot's of objects and 1 active one and press "align".
Blender searches for the aligner object and aligns all selected between the aligner and the active one (the reset the aligner flag).

Use the cursor as the other aligner object.

Sure, that's a great idea !!!
(why did'nt I thought about this !!! )

Now, how can I get the cursor position ?

Hello,

I finaly managed to write an alignment panel.

Could someone test it ?

thanks.

Happy new year !
