Submitted by savascetin on Fri, 2012-09-14 06:35

Hi
I want to switch objects renderable property on and off from attribute holder.
I can switch off renderable property by maxscript by "$.renderable = off". how can I connect this property to attribute holder.
Thank you

try this


rendOnOffCA = attributes rendOnOff
(
	parameters main rollout:roll
	(
		rend_on_off type:#boolean animatable:false ui:cb_on_off default:on
 
	)
	rollout roll "Parameters"
	(
		checkbox cb_on_off "Renderable"
		on cb_on_off changed state do ((refs.dependentNodes (custAttributes.getOwner this))[1]).renderable = state
	)
)
emptyMod = EmptyModifier name:"Render Switcher"
obj = Box()
custAttributes.add emptyMod rendOnOffCA
addmodifier obj emptyMod

This is better solution using

This is better solution using function.
Just select object and run code below

fn addRenderSwitcher obj =
(
	rendOnOffCA = attributes rendOnOff
	(
		parameters main rollout:roll
		(
			rend_on_off type:#boolean animatable:false ui:cb_on_off default:on
			currobj type:#maxObject
 
		)
		--this.currobj = (NodeTransformMonitor node:obj)
		rollout roll "Parameters"
		(
			checkbox cb_on_off "Renderable"
			on cb_on_off changed state do currobj.node.renderable = state
		)
	)
 
	emptyMod = EmptyModifier name:"Render Switcher"
	custAttributes.add emptyMod rendOnOffCA
	emptyMod.currobj = nodeTransformMonitor node:obj forwardTransformChangeMsgs:false
	addmodifier obj emptyMod
)
addRenderSwitcher $
