Selecting Lighting Objects by Universe

[MeTheMachine]

Using "Custom Selection..", I can create the following python script

 

import vs;
vs.DSelectAll(); vs.SelectObj("INSYMBOL & INVIEWPORT & ('Lighting Device'.'Universe'='1')");

 

Ultimately, I would like to not have "Universe" hard coded and have the ability to use a PopUp and enter a value for Universe.

 

Any of you python people willing to help me get something going....

import vs
vs.DSelectAll()
universe = vs.IntDialog("Enter a universe number", 1)
vs.SelectObj("INSYMBOL & INVIEWPORT & ('Lighting Device'.'Universe'='{}')".format(universe))

 

Note, best practice is no semi-colons. with each instruction on a separate line

Thank you so much!

 

Slowly working myself back into scripting.

 

Thanks again! Worked perfectly.
