Hi,
In my python state, I want to set a group of points as initial selection when pressing 'S' to enter select state.
How to set the initial selection to volatile selector?
Thanks for any tips!
Could set initial selection to volatile selector?

You could try populating the selection in onStartSelection like this
I'm afraid the above won't work as onStartSelection is designed for python state selectors only. You could try however onInterrupt to configure the initial selection as the current state gets interrupted in the middle of the select state, before the selector is started up, so it might be possible to do something in there. But it's not ideal either, I guess the best way would be a new handler for this specific purpose.
def _initGeoSelection(self): sel = hou.Selection(self._node.geometry(), hou.geometryType.Points, "0-25") self.scene_viewer.setCurrentGeometrySelection(hou.geometryType.Points, (self._node, ), (sel, )) def onStartSelection(self, kwargs): self._node = kwargs["node"] hou.ui.postEventCallback(self._initGeoSelection)
