Toggle xRef Scenes / xRef Objects

Submitted by remykonings on Wed, 2018-12-05 13:35

Hello all,

So of course i'm aware that you can just get to the xRef Scenes / xRef Objects by going through File -> Reference.

But i like to toggle the xRef Scenese / xRef Objects by using a script. I have my own "summary script" in which i like to include them.

So i'm looking for the function to toggle these two, unfortunately i couldn't find these online. Hopefully you can help me :)

Thank you.

rotation script controller Help

Submitted by lexloopor on Mon, 2013-03-18 10:58

This information will be useful in the future: I started scripting 4 weeks ago

So here´s my problem... Im using a rotation script controller replacing the Euler XYZ for a DummyA in order to make it rotate reacting to the difference between two other dummies (B and C)
I use something like this in the scriptcontroller:

dependsOn $DummyB $DummyC
$DummyB.rotation - $DummyC.rotation

and it works like a champ... but when i try to apply some math to that value it doesn´t seem to be working at all, like

($DummyB.rotation - $DummyC.rotation) * 0.5

I hate the curveControl UI!!!

Submitted by pacermike on Tue, 2010-10-05 14:47

Hi, can anyone help me on this?

I put a curveControl UI item in a custom attribute applied to a Morpher modifier.

Then I put a script controller on a morph target so it can be governed by the curveControl. It all works fine until I close and re-open Max, and re-open the scene.

When I reopen the scene the script controller starts complaining that the curveControl is undefined.

Maxscript Unable to Convert Type to Float

Submitted by autodidactdystopia on Tue, 2013-09-10 17:50

Code:

oldvalue = me.value at time (F-1)
newvalue = me.value
if oldvalue >= newvalue
oldvalue + newvalue

It throws the error "unable to convert type undefined to type FLOAT".

If I remover the comparison at line 3 then it works just fine, but if I have that >= statement then it throws the error

I am having trouble accessing a value and if then ing that value
