variable undefined in script: Copy_PathControled_Object_Along_Same_Spline.ms
Hiya,
I'm relatively n00b to MaxScript, today is my 1st look at ScriptSpot. I found a script that I'm very interested in using, but when I run the script, it tells me that the variable 'percent is undefined' per this line:
newLink.pos.controller.percent = (newLink.pos.controller.percent + (100.0/(NumberCopies as float)))
Easy enough error, but being new to MaxScript, I'm not sure how to define 'percent', so I was hoping for a lil' bit of help here to get me going. I've posted the entire script below, which is available at: http://www.hyperent.com/ - for those of you who have not seen the site before.
Thanks in advance,
~Chipley
