udk and max gizmo toggle

Sirdelita

Hey, so in UDK you can toggle through the transform gizmos by using spacebar. I was wondering if you could make this a hotkey in max. Cause it gets really annoying when i switch back and forth between them!

thanks!

Jesse Moody

should be able to do it with a quick script i would imagine and then binding it to the space bar...

Also moving this to tech talk as that is where it should be.

Sirdelita

yeah sorry it was moved already lol

here ya go, ultra-quick and dirty. Just bind it to spacebar:

macroScript gizmoToggle
category: "GregsScripts"
(
gizType = toolMode.commandmode as string

if gizType == "select" then
(toolMode.commandmode = #move)
else if gizType == "move" then
(toolMode.commandmode = #rotate)
else if gizType == "Rotate" then
(toolMode.commandmode = #nuscale)
else if gizType == "nuscale" then
(toolMode.commandmode = #select)

redrawViews
)

Sirdelita

oh wow thank you!!!

Sirdelita

okay so, the script doesn't loop. It only works one time through... any ideas?

PolyHertz

hmm, works fine here on max2009 x64. Cleaned it up a bit in the above post, if still doesn't work could say what ver of Max your working with?
