A simple Bone Toggle script

Submitted by Jan Van Akkere on Sun, 2013-02-24 03:01

I've seen several simple scripts for Toggling on/off bones, but according to lots of people these script don't work in 3dsmax 2013, I tried them all and they don't work.

Here you can see a post about this from another user, but no replies with a working code.

Can anyone write a working Bone Toggle tool?

Many many thanks!

And if you want to hide Biped

And if you want to hide Biped also:

try(destroydialog ::testRoll) catch() 
rollout testRoll "BonesHide"
(
	checkbutton btn_bone "Hide Bones" pos:[5,5] width:140 height:40
	on btn_bone changed state do (for b in objects where isKindOf b BoneGeometry or classOf b == Biped_Object do b.isHidden = state)
)
createDialog testRoll 150 50 style:#(#style_titlebar, #style_sysmenu, #style_toolwindow)

Hi tassel, you forget CAT

Hi tassel, you forget CAT bones also :)
Anyway this is the macroscript

macroScript hideBones category:"bgaTools" tooltip:"Hide|Unhide Bones Toogle" buttontext:"HideBones"
(
	on isChecked do
	(
		(for b in objects where isKindOf b BoneGeometry collect b)[1].isHidden
	)
	on execute do
	(
		for b in objects where isKindOf b BoneGeometry do b.isHidden = on
	)
	on closeDialogs do
	(
		for b in objects where isKindOf b BoneGeometry do b.isHidden = off
	)
)

barigazy, it does work, but

barigazy, it does work, but is there a way to make it a "toggable" button to dock in a toolbar? I got all categories lined up in one toolbar (geo, light, cams, shapes..)

Many thanks! It already works, that's great!
