[REQ] Add hidden layer

Submitted by 1rv on Wed, 2011-07-13 23:30

Hi! I really missing a simple command that would create a hidden
layer (it MUST stay hidden in every scene state no matter it's existing or it will be created lately).
This script would be EXTREMELY helpful in setting up the compositions to get rendered.
There's plugin in Sketchup made by Jim and it's pretty much what
I want (but in MAX):

Ideas?
Thanks

try this

fn cbfnHiddeLayer1 = (
	theLyr = callbacks.notificationParam()
	if theLyr.name == "HiddenLayer" do theLyr.ishidden = true
)
 
callbacks.removeScripts #layerCreated id:#cbHiddenLayer
callbacks.addScript #layerCreated "cbfnHiddeLayer1()" id:#cbHiddenLayer
 
 
fn cbfnHiddeLayer2 = (
	theLyr = LayerManager.getLayerFromName "HiddenLayer"
	if theLyr != undefined do theLyr.ishidden = true
)
 
callbacks.removeScripts #filePostOpen id:#cbHiddenLayer
callbacks.addScript #filePostOpen "cbfnHiddeLayer2()" id:#cbHiddenLayer
 
callbacks.removeScripts #filePostMerge id:#cbHiddenLayer
