Hi,

I need to adjust an object, but the values I need for that come from two different sliders.
Does somebody know an easy way to accomplish that?

Tnx

I'm currently not in the mood to read through your wall of code. You either describe the problem
*specifically* or wait/hope for someone to dig through your code and probably get the gist of
your problem.

One of my favorite tips that might help you describe your problem:

- Where exactly in your code is the problem? Provide a short snippet with the line(s) highlighted
and a short explanation of the context.

Well, I want to change an objects position, but that position should be the sum of the two edit sliders (something like that). It also needs to be updated whenever a slider changes.

if (id == FOOT_Y_SLIDER) :           #Foot_Y Slider

That's better already. But where is the actual problem? The code you show looks ok. When
you uncomment the purple lines, it should behave as expected: The object's y-position is set to
the result of the equation FOOT_Y/2 + LEG_Y/2.

PS: Please use the BB CODE tags or format your code accordingly so it is easier to read.

After uncommenting the code, when I change the Leg-Slider, it works fine but when I change the Foot-Slider, instead of using the new LEG_Y value, he just uses the old LEG_Y value, which I don't want to happen.

As I said, the expected behaviour.
You are setting LEG_Y to 4.0. If the Command() message passes the id FOOT_Y_SLIDER, you do
not obtain the slider value for LEG_Y, but instead use the 4.0 from above.

def Command(self, id, msg) :
    # In case you also have other widgets that don't require the
    # L_Leg object to change, use this to only update the object
    # when necessary.
    if id in (FOOT_Y_SLIDER, LEG_Y_SLIDER) :
        FOOT_Y = self.GetReal(FOOT_Y_SLIDER)
        LEG_Y = self.GetReal(LEG_Y_SLIDER)
  
        pos = L_Leg.GetRelPos()
        pos.y = (FOOT_Y + LEG_Y) / 2.0
        L_Leg.SetRelPos(pos)
        c4d.EventAdd()
  
    return True

id in (FOOT_Y_SLIDER, LEG_Y_SLIDER) is equal to id == FOOT_Y_SLIDER or id == LEG_Y_SLIDER.
