Hi everyone, i am very new to maxscript and need some help with an example I made up to help me become better acquianted. I hope this is very simple. I created and placed several point helpers in a scene. Then I created just one plane which I named Impactflash. All I want to do is create several instances of this Impactflash plane geometry and place them at each point helper. Also I want to add the currently active material to those planes. Please help me understand how to go about achieving such a thing. This is what I have so far.
delete $ImpactFlash0* //—-deletes duplicates when the script is re-run
myPointers = $point*
for i = 1 to 6 do instance $ImpactFlash
myImpactFlashes = $ImpactFlash* as array
myImpactFlashes.material = medit.getCurMtl()
for i in myImpactFlashes do (
myCounter = 0
myImpactFlashes[myCounter+=1].pos = myPointers[myCounter+=1].pos
)
