Hello!
I want to create events on the time slider changes. The registerTimeCallback can define functions based on the time slider "tick"ing, but i can't unRegister them.
The maxscript help says:
fn time_p = print currentTime
registerTimeCallback time_p
but if i write this...:
unRegisterTimeCallback time_p
... nothing change. The function keeps working when i move the time slider.
Anybody knows how can i turn OFF the functions in these cases?
Nope

Changing a function or setting it to undefined once a registerTimeCallback has been set will not change the behavior of the callback.
From the doc: Note that it is the function value that is being registered, not the function name or global variable. This means that redefining the same-named function after registering it does not change the callback. You either need to unregister, re-define the function and then register it again, or make the registered function an intermediary which calls another function

In max2012 this works
fn time_p = print currentTime
registerTimeCallback time_p
------------------------------
unregisterTimeCallback time_p
I don't know which max version have problem with
unregisterTimeCallback fn.
