Once you've [globally] defined (and evaluated) a function, it is accessible from anywhere. If you have any helper functions you want accessible at any time, you can stick that maxscript file in your startup scripts directory, and it will be evaluated at startup (and hence you can call that function from any of your…
Perna: Fantastic, I hadn't known there were global system variables for keyboard modifiers. I'd toyed with them a bit with some of the dialog/rollout controls, but I wasn't aware of the globally-available system variables, thanks! Jeremiah: Building (or using/co-opting) a library of useful functions can be a super time…
Jeremiah not sure if I'm misreading here (not a big maxscript guy but have handles on programming in various languages) but the functions run when the script/program runs. Not sure on Maxscript side but most programming languages you can build a library of helper functions and import them. I really should get on board this…
On the not that makes since... but is it necessary? I haven't tried the same script without them in there. Why can't we just buy milk without the beer without being told? lol I guess on the function I noticed you guys seem to have a very specific convention for your keyboard modifiers. What I meant was are you typing this…
Lots of great info there from Perna. Jeremiah: I would experiment with creating a library of useful functions later on down the line, once you get more experienced. Right now just play around and figure out what you want to get working. All I did when I started out was simple standalone macroscripts and then I began to…
Really would love to Perna... if I could. There is some great information in there but it is a bit over my head still. I am still learning more every weekend but you guys script circles around me. Maybe when I actually read one of your scripts and understand it without reference. :P Bryan - I checked it out and I have to…
wow.. um. I will have to slowly start sifting through all of this information. lol thanks everyone and I will probably be getting back to you in a month or so... I get the not pressed thing now... Even after I read your beer and milk thing I still didn't understand what you were saying. So I was like I guess I will just…
okay so... first things first. I looked around on the internet how to make something happen in max based on a specific button being held and it led me to some dotnet stuff. Works great. However I was wondering if anyone knew how to set it up to use mutliple keys. I looked around a bit but it is difficult to find something…
