Optimizing code

Submitted by Igryl9l on Fri, 2021-04-09 08:30

Hello
I am trying to optimize my code. Need to select a object class in a specific layer.
I am working with code that consists of two stages:
1: Selecting all objects in the layer.
2: Selecting splines from selected objects.

(
local allNodes = #(), theNodes = #()
for n in selection do (n.layer.nodes &theNodes ; join allNodes theNodes)
select allNodes
select(for obj in selection where classof obj.baseObject==line collect obj)
)

I am looking for a way to exclude the first part while keeping the result.
Any ideas on how to do this? Any help appreciated.

Maxscript dotnet

Submitted by johncrawshaw on Mon, 2015-03-30 09:52

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a script which uses a dotnet form for the UI. One of the elements is a ListView. When trying to get it to select one of the items I get an error. I'm basing a lot of it around:
http://scriptattack.com/snippets/snippets.html

Although I have to call functions like this:

fn Shot_lb_Get Shot_lb evnt =
(
hit=(Shot_lb.HitTest (dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Point" arg.x arg.y))
row=hit.item.Index
)
dotnet.addEventHandler Shot_lb "MouseUp" Shot_lb_Get

Does anyone have an idea why it fails?

Select by name filter, update and Matte material global override

Submitted by Freak on Sun, 2016-10-16 08:36

Hello everyone :)
I'm relatively new to Max scripting so I have few problems to solve which I didn't found on help or other forums.

I want my script to, when selecting geometry, filter only geometry when selecting by name (multiple objects - only Geometry - no helpers, cameras, shapes or so), the same thing with cameras. Also, to check those, I want them to print in the text box under the buttons and connect selected camera to render button.
