Noob for loop help!

Submitted by Matt_2015 on Thu, 2017-03-23 02:52

Hi,

I'm hoping some one can help... I'm attempting my first max script, so excuse my ignorance!

I would like the script to create a hair that grows from an object... I have achieved this. What I would like to now do is use a for loop so it can repeat that operation with random seeds  I seem to have a problem with the variables.. I've attached a screen grab.. could any one advice on how I should write that part?

many thanks,

Matt

Error

Can you provide us the error that it returns.

If i understand correctly you need to loop 5 time and each time assign random values to hair ? I think your error comes from the loop declaration.

Try to replace this :

for i = 1 do *5
(
-- YOUR CODE --
)

with this :

for i = 1 to 5 do
(
-- YOUR CODE --
)

This is a working chunk of code that will loop 5 times before exiting.
