the value change to zero

i want to keep the value when i click another object but i d'ont know what to do
here is the code:

------------------------------
CharacterName = "Joshua"

        --TURN OFF INHERIT ROTATION
    setInheritanceFlags (execute ("$"+CharacterName+"_Hlp_L_BallPointFoot")) #{1..3,5,6,7..9}
    setInheritanceFlags (execute ("$"+CharacterName+"_Hlp_R_BallPointFoot")) #{1..3,5,6,7..9}




    AttribHolderL = EmptyModifier()
    AttribHolderR = EmptyModifier()
   
    addmodifier (execute ("$"+CharacterName+"_Ctrl_L_Leg")) AttribHolderL
    addmodifier (execute ("$"+CharacterName+"_Ctrl_R_Leg")) AttribHolderR

    You just post 100 lines of code and don't even describe what software is involved.

    This is difficult to debug, because you are using several hard coded object names. Basically I can't run the script without your max file.

    But I can give a few suggestions.

    • When you paste code here, use the code formatting option. It's difficult to debug code when the formatting has been destroyed. The code formatting option is under the paragraph icon.
    • Don't use execute over and over. Just use getNodeByName once, and store the result in a variable. Then use the variable.
    • Instead of using the following:
    (execute ("$"+CharacterName+"_Ctrl_R_Leg")).modifiers[1].FootControllersL[#HeelPellL]
    • Just use:
    AttribHolderR.FootControllersL[#HeelPellL]
    • Since the modifier is already a variable, there's no need to execute a string to get the object and then it's modifier.
    As for as the sliders not updating. I peeled back the code, and it works for me.
    FootCtrlParR = attributes FootControllersR
(
	parameters FootControllersPR rollout:FootControllersRollR
	(
		Test type:#float  animatable:on ui:(spnTest,sldTest) 
	)

	rollout FootControllersRollR "Foot Control Parameters"
	(
		spinner spnTest "Foot roll Spn"
		slider sldTest "Foot roll Sld"
	)
)


AttribHolderR = EmptyModifier()
addmodifier selection[1] AttribHolderR
 custAttributes.add AttribHolderR FootCtrlParR
    Try posting the smallest amount of code that doesn't work for you. Then we can help you better.

    Hi monster
    Thank you very much for your answer. Yes it is so big code and I will reduce next time. I found code format. Great tip.
