Question about "Execute"

Submitted by Romeh on Fri, 2013-08-09 08:25

Hello,

i have a simple question, i am a little bit lost with maxscript, so, if you can help it will be so nice ;)

i think its probably really simple, my question is: Do you know an alternative to "execute" to do this stuff :

fn LogoPreset1 = ( print "logo1" ) 
fn LogoPreset2 = ( print "logo2" ) 
fn LogoPreset3 = ( print "logo3" ) 
 
rollout testrollout "test" width:272 height:120 ( 
	dropdownlist dd items:#("hello","hello world","hello you") height:6 
	button addb "add logo" pos:[50,35] width:125 height:32 
 
	fn w = 
		( 
			z = dd.selection as string 
			execute("LogoPreset"+z+"()") 
			) 
 
			on addb pressed do ( 
		w() 
		) 
 
 
		) 
 
 
createDialog testrollout

Because of "execute" i have to put fn before the rollout, but doing that complicate some other part of my main script.

so its why i'm looking for an alternative

thank you for your help.

Two different methods, seem to exist so many ways to do the same thing in maxscript...
I'll see it tomorrow, i think it will be probably ok

Yup. In MXS can do same things in few different ways. That's the power of this scripting languade. But only GOD knows which way is the best :)
Just keep it simple that's the basic rule.
