Check explorer_selected_entities()

[TK.421]

how can i check if the entities selected in the explorer are toolpaths or something else?

    INT i = size(explorer_selected_entities())  tells me how many things are selected in the explorer, but I really want to know how many toolpaths are selected

    INT i = size(explorer_selected_entities('Toolpath')) doesnt work... It's the end of the day and I'm at a loss.

thanks in advance!

INT $i = size(explorer_selected_entities())
IF $i > 0 {
	ENTITY ent = explorer_selected_entities()[0]
	IF $ent.RootType == "toolpath" {
		MESSAGE INFO "Entity type selected: " + $ent.RootType
	}
} ELSE {
	MESSAGE WARN "No entity selected."
}

Thanks @rafael.sansao   

I thought of that too, but I was hoping to do it in one line of code.

you could use the filter function like this:

foreach $tp in filter(explorer_selected_entities(),'this.RootType == "toolpath"') {
	//your code
}

This will filter the explorer selection for toolpahts and if no toolpaths are selected the code in the loop gets skipped anyway so no size check needed.
