https://vimeo.com/403331733

and here in link to video which shows that's how I imagine it but working on helper point

https://vimeo.com/403335138

describing it like this
I have some object, vray proxy model or whatever.
I create a pont helper in the places designated by me on the model, then select the whole and create a group, and thanks to the snap helper point script I send created groups to other groups that also have a helepr point.
I assumed it would work.

i dont know hot to say/describe in english :/

I guess I am doing something

I guess I am doing something wrong, in the new year I will show in an example film how I use it and you will tell me why it does not work ........ Where I make a mistake.
Yes, I know you did not expect me to have problems with something so simple. I do not disturb you during Christmas.

Ok, but how can i this use,

Ok, but how can use in 3ds max?;
Is it in the form of some window?
How to use it?

Maybe I didn't explain clearly (I'm sleepy), I mean snap helper point to helper point.
I don't know if it's something but somehow I think poorly today.

I have a stupid question.
Could you show me how to use it?

that's unexpected :) you ask for a script and even don't know how to use one
ok

you can either run it as is or make a macro out of it
then you can bind it to a hotkey for convenience

usage:
1. select object/s
2. execute script or macro using hotkey
3. pick the helper node where selection will move

No, snap to helper point

No, snap to helper point only.
I will assign the appropriate point helper to the objects.

.

picked_helper = pickObject filter:(fn isHelper obj = isKindOf obj helper)
if picked_helper != undefined do
(
	selection.pos = picked_helper.pos
)

or

picked_helper = pickObject filter:(fn isHelper obj = isKindOf obj helper)
if picked_helper != undefined do
(
	move selection (picked_helper.pos - [selection.center.x, selection.center.y, selection.min.z])
)

OK. But what have to be snapped to those helper points? Selected objects? Selected verts? Something else?

Maybe I'll say yes.I have

I have several hundred different objects that fit into my lego style, but not literally.
I want to build something out of them, and I came up with the idea of giving some point helpers to each object to make the fun easier.
Maybe I'll make some film for yt.
Sorry for any errors, I use google translate.

You want a script that will create point helpers and will put each point helper at the position of each of the selected objects?
