A script that aligns objects along a path or spline. much more editable than the spacing tool. see how it works here or download complete package (with mini tut).

Additional Info: 

The script works fine here on max 9 (32 bit) and on max 2009 (64bit). Did not test on other versions.

The script is free so you may change and reuse it.

New development?

Hi, great script but wondered if anything has been updated since please. I found this on here a few weeks back and its a great script. The only problem I find is that the objects are welded more or less to the spline so when I move the obejcts it moves them oddly along the spline. The only way to fix this for me is edit poly mod and detach all objects then delete the spline. How about a possible fix for the near future please?

Cheers, Toby

Follow

I really LOVE your script, and I use it a lot!!
Now I´m creating an scalator, and i had to modify the script putting the follow as false. Is any possibility that you tell me how to add a checkbox "Follow"
I´ve added the UI but I have issues when declaration the variable.
I really don´t know where to add it :(

I thought about something like this (as I successfully did for my scripts):

checkbox chainlike "Follow" pos:[20,170]
on fol set val do delegate. path follow=val
on chainlike changed state do
(
if state==on then fol.enabled=true else fol.enabled=false
)

But it won't work here.
Would you help me please?

- interactive update when change numbers

Works well on one spline, Is

Works well on one spline, Is there a way to have a pick box, so I could select multiple splines at one time, rather than running closing opening
over multiple spline entitities?

works on my max 6 btw

Ehhh, thanks I suppose! xD I

Ehhh, thanks I suppose! xD

I tried as you said, and it didn't worked..
I had a little rage about it, and started doing a screen capture of the error so you could see it in video.

And of course, when I try to recreate the error to show you... It works...

So I guess you fixed it, but I have no clue how.. xD And yes, I did make sure the line was either just a line or Editable Spline both times...

Anyhow, best regards Mephy!
