Sequoia Meshing Hacksaw 3ds Maxscript Error
Hello everyone, apologies upfront as I lack the programming knowledge to understand the problem I am having. I have been trying to utilize Thinkbox Sequoia Meshing, the program comes with 3ds integration maxscript for loading Seq. .xmesh into 3ds.
Code on GITHUB:
They have provided a .ms file which I have loaded and run. This creates a toolbar button that loads the sequential xmesh files. Whenever I run the script and point the macro to the correct file, once I click load I get this error.
I do not understand what this means. If anyone could point me in the right direction it I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for any help. I know I pasted quite a bit, but I am still learning so I wanted to provide the context?

Sorry, I don't think I pasted that code correctly.... formatting doesn't look like other posts.
its a bit late, but I didnt want to just go over this.
do you know how to open the maxscript listener? it should give more explicit error messages than the pop up window.
it means that somewhere in the sourcecode a method is called on an object that is neither a class nor a function. (most likely its undefined)
for example it could be "theLoader.renderSequence", where "theLoader" hasnt been propperly assigned beforehand, so maxscript can not call the method. the listener should give you a line you can investigate more indepth.
