thanks :)

ok so this is what i have so far

ok so this is what i hve so far

so im writing a script to connect the morphs to a gui control .
i know there is a script out there that is based on the "stop staring" mel script
but i wanted to learn some maxscript on the way so...
im running into a problem , that is more of an inconvenience .
this method is producing duble the amount of states that is really needed
to achieve this setup.
as you can see in this picture:

From tests

this is what the script produce .
but what i need is more like this:

From tests

now when i do it manually i just erase all the states that are created when the data is being plugged in initially .
then when i create a state it holds both of the morphs in each state.
but i cant find a way to completely remove a state with maxscript.
it just removes the information of the state and leaves an empty state.

any one knows how to get the second setup with max script ????

this is the code im using right now

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------- 2 point controller gui intigration with morpher-------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

select $test_ctrl
macros.run "Animation Tools" "TransformToZero"
clearSelection()

cont = $sphere001.morpher[1].controller = float_reactor()
reactto cont $test_ctrl.pos.controller.Zero_Pos_XYZ.controller.Y_Position.controller
cond = $sphere001.morpher[2].controller = float_reactor()
reactto cond $test_ctrl.pos.controller.Zero_Pos_XYZ.controller.Y_Position.controller

move $test_ctrl [0,0,30]

createReaction cont
createReaction cond

move $test_ctrl [0,0,-60]

createReaction cont
createReaction cond

select $test_ctrl
macros.run "Animation Tools" "TransformToZero"
clearSelection()
select $Sphere001

setreactionstate cond 1 100
setreactionstate cont 3 100

thanks everyone

ok thanks everyone for all the help
this forum is amazing i don't believe i would be able to write even one script
without all the help i got on this site
i wrote 2 simple scripts that work together
the first one creates a gui controller with freeze transforms and position limits
and the other one lets you connect specific morph targets to the controller limits
allot like the "stop staring" mel script just less sophisticated .
but it works
you can take a look over here:

thanks again everyone

Try this:

$myObject.morpher[1].controller = float_reactor()

I don't think you can assign

I don't think you can assign a reaction controller to a morph channel. I guess you have to find a way around that, maybe add the reaction to some other object and then pass a value over to that morph channel using wired parameters or script controllers or what not.
