Unable to Apply UVW Map on multiple Selection with simple MaxScript

Submitted by v1ncent87 on Mon, 2015-07-06 22:47

Hi all,

I've recently created a maxscript to apply a 10x10x5m box UVW Map on objects.
I copied the code from the maxscript listener after applying it manually on an object. Edited some of the information to better organize it in my CUI. The code goes like this

macroScript UVW10x10x5m
category:"1Essential Scripts"
toolTip:"UVW10x10x5m"
Buttontext:"UVW10x10x5m"
 
(
	modPanel.addModToSelection (Uvwmap ()) ui:on
	$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].maptype = 4
	$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].length = 10000
	$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].width = 10000
	$.modifiers[#UVW_Map].height = 5000
)

How to: Post code snippets

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2008-07-15 07:03

You can post code snippets by using a bracketed code tag either [] or <>. However, due to how the code formatting works it cannot be used in conjunction with the ScriptSpot rich-text editor.

So, to post code I'll use the [ code ] tag to start the highlighter and the [ /code ] tag to end it (spaces added so it would display tag - don't use spaces).

macroScript RenameThem category:"HowTo"
(
 rollout rename_rollout "Enter New Base Name"
 (
  edittext base_name ""
  button rename_them "RENAME SELECTED OBJECTS..."
  on rename_them pressed do

trouble with lights

Submitted by dwilliamsbehrend on Fri, 2015-10-16 10:47

I am placing a target light in my scene with a simple maxscript script.

I have set the light "enable" to "on" but the light won't turn on unless
I manually open the modify panel and check the "light type" "on" button.

Would like to do this with maxscript.

Any help would be appreciated.

Object Plugin Maxscript Slice

Submitted by The_Bungler on Wed, 2017-07-26 14:04

I am trying to write a object plugin. Is there a way how you could slice a picked object in a Maxscript Create Object plugin. It seems I can't use " .slice' function at all. I wrote already a own slice function but the performance is not that good as the slice function from 3DS Max.
Is there anyway how I could use modifiers in a create object plugin (Simple Object)
Thx anyway

I am trying to make a SIMPLE particle flow script decreasing speed of particles

Submitted by ZooM on Tue, 2012-03-20 08:45

I am trying to make a simple Particle Flow script decreasing speed of particles. Why this did not work, the variable "vel" is changing? And other important question how to make particles to go on random direction not in single line.

on ChannelsUsed pCont do
(
pCont.useTime = true
pCont.useSpeed = true
)

on Init pCont do
(

)

on Proceed pCont do
(
count = pCont.NumParticles()
speed = .05
t = pCont.particleAge
for i in 1 to count do
(
pCont.particleIndex = i
vel = (speed/t)
print vel
pCont.particleSpeed = [vel,0,0]

)
)
