Maxscript Unable to Convert Type to Float

Submitted by autodidactdystopia on Tue, 2013-09-10 17:50

Code:

oldvalue = me.value at time (F-1)
newvalue = me.value
if oldvalue >= newvalue
oldvalue + newvalue

It throws the error "unable to convert type undefined to type FLOAT".

If I remover the comparison at line 3 then it works just fine, but if I have that >= statement then it throws the error

I am having trouble accessing a value and if then ing that value

my question in demonstration and detail

I had to put the existing script in the description section otherwise it wouldn't let me save the script

Thank you SO much for your time.

Try like this

oldvalue = at time (F-1) me.value 
newvalue = me.value
if oldvalue >= newvalue do oldvalue + newvalue

I wonder if this is a glitch in max or something or an intentional barrier. 0_0

I asume also that U are using Assign Track instead of Assign Controller

I am using assign to controller (variable "me")

I have edited to only use the name of the variable like you said
It throws a new error. :D

I think this might be some good info though

it says "no ">=" function for controller: audio float"

Does this mean it doesn't allow the audio float data to be compared on purpose?

Can you post the file.
Try with Assign Track and pick same audio controller.
But file be useful thought
