Passing var value from rollout to macro script

Submitted by Alen on Tue, 2012-01-10 13:23

Hi!

I'm having a problem with a script I wrote. My main script is a macro script which I have assigned to a keyboard shorcut. The other script is a simple rollout with a pickbutton which stores an object in a global variable.

My macroscript should be able to read this global variable, but it only happens if I open a macro editor and evaluate an entire script (instead just using a shortcut). Otherwise it will just keep reporting undefined.

Get Used Material ID List from EditablePoly without face check

Submitted by Matyrix on Thu, 2018-08-30 04:08

Hello,

Everybody on other forums use the check every face to read the Used Material IDs from an object, but there is a basic ID list in Editable Poly. I attached an image about it.

The only problem is that there is no chance to read this list from the Editable Poly.

Do somebody knows how can i read this list by script?

Copy and paste text from MaxScript Listener in a .Txt

Submitted by Michele71 on Mon, 2009-08-10 06:47

Hello! I have a small question to do all of you:

With a little script, I have a button that find the position of an object.
In Listener I see write the position es. pos: [66.4655,8.38055,0].

Now, how do I transfer the result of the listener to a text file and open it after pressing the button?

Action: Press button > open .txt (not listener) with the result print.

Thanks and I hope in your help!!

Making a script stop a render/network render until the script is okayed by a user

Submitted by Script_Butler on Wed, 2011-06-15 03:57

Hi all, I started this script

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/hide-and-unhide-all-bones-and-...

and as you can tell it's very basic. Tassel came up with a more user friendly version and i'd like to enhance my script.

What I'd like to achieve is when this script is added to the pre-render scripts area, the script halts rendering until the relevant buttons are pressed. I'll add a "Render" button to it, but forst you pick "Hide Bones" to hide them and when you click the render button, max then renders the image.

Rotate pivot to Targeted Obj

Submitted by JokerMartini on Thu, 2012-08-09 11:25

How would I create this same script but without the hassle of using the point object and just modifying the actual objects pivot?

I'm trying to rotate a pivot to look in the direction of a target with an axis constraint.

To test just create a bunch of boxes on different position in 3d space and then create a sphere at 0,0,0 using that as the target.

targetObj = $Sphere001
sel = selection as array
for obj in sel do
(
	--pivotLookAt obj $Sphere001
	local dummyPt = point()
 
	dist = obj.pos - targetObj.pos
	dist = normalize dist
	upVec = [0,0,1]
	dp = dot dist upVec

Render outputSize that fit the object

Submitted by Michele71 on Mon, 2010-10-18 12:50

Hi man! :)

How do I set the width and height measurements in rendering (setup) that fit a selected object in the top view?

Situation:

For the first three steps and dummy box are successful, but the last I do not understand how to do...

Do you have any suggestions?
