Thanks for the reply ... I guess I'll use your script as a base and dive in one day when I get a chance. Weird that they don't support that. Max handles duplicate names perfectly fine...
I have a script here that breaks all wire parameters on every objected selected. You can probably re-factor it it to reconnect to another object. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2904948/Tools/RemoveAllWireParametersFromSelection.ms
Game is starting to come along, got a (sorta) functioning alpha and some good concept pieces with a script almost complete. Still looking to add an animator and a modeler to the team. Email me at halogenstudios.indie@gmail.com
Hey dude, I am a noob in Maxscript, dont know the exact answer to your query.But i use Meshtools and it has a function called Select by Material ID Surface.You could look at that script.
im using version 5.0.1 i figure it would be best to show you what i mean with disjointed i create the mesh in max to use as leaves then export usig the script speedtree comes with,
also, it's usually worth thinking if there is a max way of doing what you want, and scripting that, usually is faster for max (noise modifier for instance sounds like what you are doing somewhat?) good luck!
i currently use this script which removes that crappy button and just makes you toggle isolate selection with the shortcut, no buttons included :) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/macro-isosel-revised-again
have you checked or do you know if the free xnView or irvanView behave the same? esspecially xnView comes with a lot of options and somewhat scripting and batch abilities. http://www.xnview.com/ anyway nice job
It should be possible to write a small script or app that saves the currently opened document periodically, using Photoshop's COM interface. Like Xoliul, I also have very little experience with Photoshop crashing.
you could have a kismet script that toggles a blocking volume on and off whenever a vehicle enters a trigger volume that surrounds the blocking volume. You could also spawn in a kactor of the fence when this happens.
