How to: Post code snippets

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2008-07-15 07:03

You can post code snippets by using a bracketed code tag either [] or <>. However, due to how the code formatting works it cannot be used in conjunction with the ScriptSpot rich-text editor.

So, to post code I'll use the [ code ] tag to start the highlighter and the [ /code ] tag to end it (spaces added so it would display tag - don't use spaces).

macroScript RenameThem category:"HowTo"
(
 rollout rename_rollout "Enter New Base Name"
 (
  edittext base_name ""
  button rename_them "RENAME SELECTED OBJECTS..."
  on rename_them pressed do

How to: Post images

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2008-07-15 06:52

Ever wanted to post images with your content to ScriptSpot? There is a link below any "Body" textbox that says "enable rich-text" which will turn on the TinyMCE rich text editor. Once that is up, click the "insert image" button to bring up a upload tool / file manager.

I am trying to make a SIMPLE particle flow script decreasing speed of particles

Submitted by ZooM on Tue, 2012-03-20 08:45

I am trying to make a simple Particle Flow script decreasing speed of particles. Why this did not work, the variable "vel" is changing? And other important question how to make particles to go on random direction not in single line.

on ChannelsUsed pCont do
(
pCont.useTime = true
pCont.useSpeed = true
)

on Init pCont do
(

)

on Proceed pCont do
(
count = pCont.NumParticles()
speed = .05
t = pCont.particleAge
for i in 1 to count do
(
pCont.particleIndex = i
vel = (speed/t)
print vel
pCont.particleSpeed = [vel,0,0]

)
)

material creation script.

Submitted by SiSco on Fri, 2011-09-23 04:15

Hi,

Forgive my lazyness (actually lack of time would be better said) for not searching all of the scriptspot scripts and posts for what I am about to ask.

I was wondering... say I get lots of RGB values in an excel sheet (in gamma 2,2)from a client who wants to visualise the colors in interior scenes.

Can it be done with a script in such a way that max generates a material library and puts the corrected gamma 2.2 color values from the table in the diffuse slots for the materials?

Maxscript acces to Wall

Submitted by lluisMH71 on Fri, 2017-04-07 22:58

Hello to all. Recently i have been doing a script that needs to get acces to the AEC wall object. I need to get acces to the 'pick spline' option in keyboard entry option from the modify panel to assign a previously created spline , but i have no idea on how to get it cause it doesn't seem to have a straightforward way to get into it. I can use the 'startObjectCreation Wall' to start creting the wall, but after that, i don't know where find a method to attach the spline right into it.

Any ideas about that one?..

Thanks in advance!!!

Names into array to update multilistbox

Submitted by tony07 on Wed, 2018-02-28 12:11

I'm trying to evaluate if some materials have some options on or off, until there the script works and it prints the name of the materials that im evaluating, "print m.name". But I need to update a list box with that m.name to show the result in a rollout, could not find any solution to that, the solutions i found its using "collect" and works before getting the names from the meditmaterials, but i already have them, so how i can add it to the listbox item:#()

Thanks in Advanced for your help.
