Error when running script from Toolbar. Evaluates without error.

Submitted by ook222 on Mon, 2019-02-04 15:28

Hi,

Fairly new to Maxscript. Made a quick export to FBX script which after some fiddling seems to work, but only when I evaluate it. If I run it from the toolbar button I made it throws an error. "Unable to convert: undefined to type: FileName"

Not sure why it would behave differently in these cases.

Here's the script:

SelectedObjects = selection as array
clearSelection()
max modify mode
 
actionMan.executeAction 0 "40087"  -- Edit: Hold
 
for obj in SelectedObjects do
(
	select obj
	obj.pos = [0,0,0]
    ObjectName = obj.name
    ExportPath = (maxFilePath + "\\" + ObjectName)
	exportFile ExportPath #noPrompt selectedOnly:true using:FBXEXP
)
 
actionMan.executeAction 0 "40088"  -- Edit: Fetch

Here's the error: "Unable to convert: undefined to type: FileName"

Filename

Try this:

if maxFilePath != "" and selection.count > 0 then
(
	local selected_objs = selection as array
 
	-- set redraw off so we dont need to see the objects jumping around
	with redraw off
	(
		-- loop through selected objects
		for obj in selected_objs do
		(
			-- save object position
			local original_pos = obj.pos
 
			-- set object to origin
			obj.pos = [0, 0, 0]
 
			-- select obj for export
			select obj
 
			-- build the export filename
			local export_path = maxFilePath + "\\" + obj.name + ".fbx"
 
			-- export
			exportFile export_path #noPrompt selectedOnly:true using:FBXEXP
 
			-- set object back to original position
			obj.pos = original_pos
		)
	)
)
else
(
	print "The scene has to be saved to have a filepath and objects need to be selected!"
)

This code is added as macroscript?
