3dsmax translation min-max

StJoris · Aug 2014

I want to restrict translation on the x-axis of an object to a minimum and maximum world value, so that it can not stick through other objects accidentally while later animated by someone else. I've looked into limit controller, but that only works with existing keys afaik. Is this at all possible?

Limit controller simply limits the possible values of its child controller. It's not fool-proof, for example when applied to controller which is not active - or when used inside list controller where it would work in local coordinate system, not in world. But yeah, basically that's the way it should be done.

Ah you were right Swordslayer!

Thanks, it does work like I want it to, but indeed the values of coordinates are very strange, doesn't align with either local or world.
