Link Object to a Vertex Added on: Mon Aug 14 2000 |
| Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
Save it and hit Ctrl + E and try it out. You finished Script should look like LinktoVert.ms.
If you are having troubles make sure you have one vertex selected when you hit "get vert" button.
I also included LinktoVert-Helper.ms in the zip file from the beginning of the article.
This is the same script just with extra stuff added to show you what groups do what.
===========================================================
Used Functions list:
These are all built in functions that I used.
NewRolloutFloater "Name of Floater" width height | Creates a floater
Rollout Name_of_Rollout "Title of Rollout" ( ........... ) | Creates a rollout
addRollout Name_of_Rollout Name_of_floater | adds a rollout to a floater
group Group_Name "title of group" | makes a group with that title
label Label_Name "text" | Puts text onto the rollout
if This do That | tests something and if it works do that
getvertselection object | gets the vertex number of the currently selected object/vertex as an array
getvert object vertex_number | returns the position of that vertex number of that object (x,y,z)
Further Reading and Explanations:
Although the MAXScript help file is very resourceful it is lackinging in useful examples.
So to see why I did certain things search for the following things and read up.
For information on the proper placement and structure of you script:
For example, why I defined the utility rollout first, then the buttons, then the "on this do that" section read this in the MAXScript Reference:
Working with MAX > Utility Rollouts > Visibility of Locals, Functions, Structs and UI Items in Rollout Code
For information about controllers and access to them:
Working with MAX > Controllers and Keys > Controller Creation and Assignment.
