S.O.S!!!

Yo mawou, thanks for all the

Yo mawou, thanks for all the explanations and the video you made, you're the boss! but as me, it's not possible to select layers inside another layer? this: ".nodes &objsArr" doesn't collect layers also?

fn SelectObjectsInLayer layerName: = -- list of layers founed to founded in the layer "Clones":
(
local objsArr
(LayerManager.getLayerFromName layerName).nodes &objsArr --is it possible to filter only the layers founded (first childs)?
objsArr -- return the selected layer
)
objsInLayerArr = SelectObjectsInLayer layerName:"Props"
select objsInLayerArr -- here the layers aren't selected

--HEllo MIIAU, sOrry Again and Again, but as i'd never work without js in softimage , and it's the last script that i need, i feel totaly lost in maxscript ...
-- About operations on layers, nothing appened, what did i miss? i thought "SelectObjectsInLayer" will select childs, but no.. (ligne 12)
-- it's possible to use the sign OR in this way in maxscript? (ligne 28)

hello again and thanks to be

hello again and thanks to be so patient,
do you know how to call a script inside another one, like in .js the command: Application.ExecuteScript ( oScriptPath + "MakeScript.js")
and what do you think aboutBatch it Max? it don't look to make the job??
Do you know another way to run a script in batch in severals scenes at once, and save them like it?

Hello Miaou, Since i'd tryied

Hello Miaou,
Since i'd tryied this, and all my problems seems to be gone with mergeMaxFile :

mergeMaxFile @"Z:\LL_common\models\A_MP_Persos\MP_01_Danael\AutoRIG\A001_Danael.max" #select #neverReparent #autoRenameDups #useMergedMtlDups missingDLLsAction: #default quiet:true

thanks a lot, again for for your patience,
but do you know why nothing appened when i try to move the layers? it answer me: OK and make nothing
i think i miss something very simple and essential...because i like your idea to make the script faster like doing object mode:

(
-- get the objects from the layer with the name "Layer001"
fn SelectObjectsInLayer layerName: =
(
local objsArr
(LayerManager.getLayerFromName layerName).nodes &objsArr
-- return the selected objects
objsArr
)
objsInLayerArr = SelectObjectsInLayer layerName:"Props"

-- move those objects to a layer with the name "Layer002"
layer = LayerManager.getLayerFromName "Clones"
for n in (selection as array) do layer.addNode n
)
