Hi,
I have a little question !
I created a modal operator to make operation and when I launch the operator, I use the transform.translate in Invoke.
Like this
bpy.ops.transform.translate('INVOKE_DEFAULT', True)
There is a code example, select the object you want place a cube on it, launche the tool.
import bpy
from bpy.props import IntProperty, FloatProperty
class Project_Cube_Modal(bpy.types.Operator):
"""Move an object with the mouse, example"""
bl_idname = "object.project_cube_modal"
bl_label = "Simple Modal Operator"
first_mouse_x = IntProperty()
count = 0
def modal(self, context, event):
scene = bpy.context.scene
wm = bpy.context.window_manager
self.count += 1
if self.count == 1 :
bpy.ops.transform.translate('INVOKE_DEFAULT', True)
if event.type == 'MIDDLEMOUSE':
return {'PASS_THROUGH'}
if event.type == 'S' and event.value == 'PRESS':
act_obj = bpy.context.active_object
for obj in context.selected_objects:
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = obj
bpy.ops.transform.resize('INVOKE_DEFAULT', True)
elif event.type == '' and event.value == 'PRESS':
for obj in context.selected_objects:
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = obj
bpy.ops.transform.rotate('INVOKE_DEFAULT',True, constraint_axis=(False, False, True), constraint_orientation='LOCAL')
elif event.type == 'LEFTMOUSE':
bpy.context.scene.tool_settings.use_snap = False
self.first_mouse_x = event.mouse_x
return {'FINISHED'}
elif event.type in {'RIGHTMOUSE', 'ESC', 'SPACE'}:
return {'CANCELLED'}
return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}
def invoke(self, context, event):
if context.object:
bpy.context.scene.tool_settings.use_snap = True
bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(radius=1)
self.first_mouse_x = event.mouse_x
context.window_manager.modal_handler_add(self)
return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}
else:
self.report({'WARNING'}, "No active object, could not finish")
return {'CANCELLED'}
class Projection_Cube_Modal_Panel(bpy.types.Panel):
bl_idname = "projection_cube_modal_panel"
bl_label = "Projection Cube Modal Panel"
bl_space_type = "VIEW_3D"
bl_region_type = "TOOLS"
bl_category = "category"
def draw(self, context):
layout = self.layout
layout.operator("object.project_cube_modal", text='Project', icon='FACESEL')
def register():
bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)
def unregister():
bpy.utils.unregister_module(__name__)
if __name__ == "__main__":
register()
My issue is that I cannot exit the translate mode to start other modes.
If you have any idea 
thx for your help !
