Maxscript/Macro help?
Hey folks, I know a fair few of you are knowledgeable when it comes to Maxscript stuff... I've been dabbling with a little bit of it just to make some little macroscripts to bind to hotkeys now and then. Right now I'm doing some highpoly stuff, and I've noticed some annoyances about Max for this - if I'm modelling in… -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
Yeah, thanks for the suggestion! I had considered that, but it's a tad unwieldy, and I'd much prefer just to have one large Perspective viewport open, rather than two (or have to keep switching camera/viewport). I guess I'll just have to slog on with this scripting stuff -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
Ah, nice stuff guys! FatAssasin: Yeah, that's pretty much what I was looking for with the toggling thing... thanks! I'll see what I can come up with, in regards to the rest of it Is it just me who finds the Maxscript help kind of... impenetrable? Or maybe that's just because I don't know enough about scripting yet... -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
Thanks, that's a huge help. I think I'm pretty good at working out why/how code works if I've got a good example to go from (which the Maxscript help seems sorely lacking in), so I think with this basis, I should be able to go and write the full script I originally had in mind (the Symmetry/Turbosmooth adding/removing… -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
Hmm, this is odd... it works in that, if the modifiers already exist, it won't add a new set of them on top... but also, it won't delete either the Symmetry or the TurboSmooth modifiers. When I evaluate the script at the moment, it works "forwards" (adding the modifiers) no problem... but "backwards", it gives me this:… -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
If you want to test if a certain modifier is present, you can use the name of the modifier as it appears in the stack. Something like this: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>if $.modifiers[#Turbosmooth] != undefined then deleteModifier $.modifiers[#Turbosmooth] else addModifier $ (turbosmooth())</pre><hr /> If the… -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
Eric: Damn, I'm totally blind. I went over to Scriptspot a couple of days ago, looking for tutorials - I swear I looked over every single link on the navigation bars... and somehow missed the one in the very bottom right, which is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! -
Re: Maxscript/Macro help?
Yeah, the maxScript reference is not for the faint of heart. I'm getting better at decifering it, but sometimes I still don't know what the hell it's trying to say. It's getting better though as Bobo has been adding more examples and better explanations of certain concepts. The Discreet webboard is a really good place to…
