I try to write a skript that leads a Rope or a telephone-cable (coil) along a path. The path should be drawn and selected by the user. But creating the path the script tells me it is empty. So I give out a messageBox to see that there is a selection:
If I go OK the script runns further on from line 27 to line 29 and tells me the path is empty (see # Path does not work) :
But why? What is wrong?
