3DSMAX Maxscript cut array in 1/2?

dg3duy

I need to divide 1 array of objects into 2 and each part can create a new array with its own name.

PolyHertz

You mean like this?

arrayOne = #(1,5,7,23,9,5,65)

PartA = #()

partB = #()

for i=1 to arrayOne.count/2 do (append PartA arrayOne[i])

for i=(arrayOne.count/2 + 1) to arrayOne.count do (append PartB arrayOne[i])

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was needing

A question that is related to the previous one.

Now that I have 2 object arrays the second array starts connecting the values but from 0.0 to 1.0 and I would need the opposite starting with a value of 1.0 and ending with a value of 0.0

I'm using this way to do it and it's not the right way.

slave = $slave???
select slave
arrayOne = selection as array

PartA = #()
partB = #()
for i=1 to arrayOne.count/2 do (append PartA arrayOne[i])
for i=(arrayOne.count/2 + 1) to arrayOne.count do (append PartB arrayOne[i])

for i=1 to PartB.count do 
(
	PartB[i] = paramWire.connect master[#transform][#rotation][#z_rotation] PartB[i][#transform][#rotation][#z_rotation] ("Z_Rotation * (" + ((1.0 / PartB.count )* i) as string + ")")
)

You can count backwards by subtracting the current loop number from the highest array index:

PartB = #(1,2,3,4,5)

for i=1 to PartB.count do (

    print (PartB[PartB.count - i + 1])

)

So in your example it would probably look something like this: EDIT, see below!

)

So in your example it would probably look something like this:

PartB[i] = paramWire.connect master[#transform][#rotation][#z_rotation] PartB[i][#transform][#rotation][#z_rotation] ("Z_Rotation * (" + (1.0 / (PartB[PartB.count - i + 1])) as string + ")")

This part of the code works perfectly

PartB = #(1,2,3,4,5)for i=1 to PartB.count do (    print (PartB[PartB.count - i + 1]))

When connecting the wire parameter, an error occurs and it cannot connect to the elements.

Whoops! My mistake, it should look like this:

PartB[i] = paramWire.connect master[#transform][#rotation][#z_rotation] PartB[i][#transform][#rotation][#z_rotation] ("Z_Rotation * (" + ((1.0 / PartB.count) * (PartB.count - i + 1)) as string + ")")

It's Epic! You've got the solution. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart.
