Animating a robot arm from computer keyboard?
Hello every one, this is a great comunity congrats!
Mi problem is :
I have a arm with a Pen atribute holder the action is simple.
In the max value (100) of the slider, the arm is open and instead in the min value (0) the arm is close.
I need control this from my computer keyboard so, if i press a preassigned key like(k)the arm value increment one point each time i press to open.
and if press(j)key the arm close each time i press to the minimun value 0
I hope you can helpme
thanks you

That is possible, although
That is possible, although through MAXScript you can only check a few keys, I think ctrl, shift, alt. But you can of course assign macroscripts to any button, e.g. the left-arrow and right-arrow.
It could work like this, if you assign the macroscripts to one button each:
You will have to edit the script to make it work. You can find the name of your custom attribute definition and property by expanding the modifier in the curve editor. Also the modifier name has to match. I guess the rest is self-explaining.
Cheers
Never get low & slow & out of ideas
