Jason, The problem is that your script is changing the setting for the specific object-state by passing it an explicit object name and state number.
cmd.set( "sphere_transparency", str(val), spheres, 0, 1, 1 ) As an important compatibility consideration, I recommend for all API functions that you only ever pass the specific arguments you need to pass to API functions, and no others. In this case, I think that would be: cmd.set( "sphere_transparency", str(val)) which simply changes the global "sphere_transparency" setting. That would then make it possible for a subsequent: set sphere_transparency, 0 To have the effect you expect.
