undeleteable would be nice

is there a way in max to disable the possibility to delete an object? the problem is i still want to be able to select and move it so freezing/hiding dosen´t help

the problem is, if i want to delete some keyframes from my rig-animation but bc of whatever the keys are highlighted but not selected it deletes my rig and not the keys.. and this is not undoable.. so i have to load an autobackup and this is going to fuck up my nerves...

thx

I've had this problem in the past. Instead of pressing Delete to delete the keys, after you select them right-click and release on "Delete Selected Keys"

There's no built in way of making an object undeletable, but you could set something up with maxScript. Puppetshop does this. You get a warning message if you accidentally delete part of the rig.

Or you could just bind Delete to "Delete Keys (Selection)" in the All Commands category, and change the object delete to Shift + Delete or something, or the other way round.

"Delete Keys (Selection)" and "Delete Keys (All)" are functions for Reactor physics.

Also, the Delete key is a special key that cannot be remapped.

Oh, damn... sorry... didn't check far enough

or a mini maxscriptfunction you throw in a macroscript, like this, which can be bound to a key as well. (untested)

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
macroScript DeleteSelectedPosRotScaleKeys
category:"CrazyButcher"
tooltip:"Delete selected PosRotScale keys"
(
deleteKeys $.pos.controller #selection
deleteKeys $.rotation.controller #selection
deleteKeys $.scale.controller #selection
)
</pre><hr />
