Newb question: multiple copies using maxOps.CloneNodes

Submitted by 4strings4ever on Wed, 2014-04-09 08:51

Hi,

I'm trying to replicate the ''Number of Copies'' option in the Clone Options menu when you shift+move ...

let's say i want 6 instances of the same hierarchy, how can i make this work?

i'm really new to maxscript so i'm using the maxOps.CloneNodes command and i can't find anything on the number of copies.

here's my string:

maxOps.CloneNodes $obj_001 offset:[600,0,0] expandHierarchy:on cloneType:#instance actualNodeList:#() newNodes:#()

so how can i set the number of copies??

cheers

Use for loop

for i = 1 to 6 do 
(
   maxOps.CloneNodes ......
)
