Re: Maxscript Function Orders
I am trying to add a custom attribute to an object in Max, but do not want it to show in the UI, just on a track. This is because I want to be able to locate an object by its custom attributes (which I also need to know), just in case (which is the case) the object gets renamed by someone else (even though they have been… -
Maxscript Function Orders
Hey guys. I'm a beginner when it comes to maxscript and scripting in general. I've been doing some small tool scripts as a learning exercise, but I'm still having trouble understanding the order in which things are initialized and called. For example, this is my current test script: ( objCollection = $* objArray =… -
Re: Maxscript Function Orders
haiddasalami is right. Also I would move the code above the rollout into the Open block. That way if you open the rollout from another place in your code you don't have to repeat that code.

From my understanding on the scope, anything inside the macroscript definition is considered a local or separate scope from global. In regards to scope, heres some good reading from the documentation. Generally if you just google… -
Re: Maxscript Function Orders
Since we are asking questions anyway, something I have been wondering for a while is: What is the use of using "(" at the start and ")" at the end of a maxscript file? Does it have a purpose? :icon_question: I would make the code like so: try(destroyDialog nameSearchBox)catch()objArray = selection as arrayobjList =… -
Re: Maxscript Function Orders
Hi EMJAY1970, feel free to create a new post when you ask a question not related to the original topic. To answer your question directly, remove the rollout from your Custom Attribute and it won't show in the UI. nodeMasterID = attributes obj_Identifier( parameters mainP ( nodeID type:#node…
