Not really the same thing, but what I've done in a few of my scripts is have different code paths for different versions. There's a simple maxscript function to get the version of Max that is running, and then your script can either give a warning about a version if it's too low to work with your script. Or you can have it…
heyho, does somewhere a tool exist which allows to check a maxscript code for compatibility around all different max versions? Something that can crawl through the code to tell me whats the oldest version of max that allows to run this script? I'm missing something like the "save as - for flash version xy" functionality…
highly doubtful, I think there is barely editors with code completion (which assumes up-to-date syntax files)... if there was an easy way to generate that from the maxscript helpfiles, one could at least check function names... but that also assumes a parser that extracts functionnames from given code... sounds like too…
