I want to be able to set max to frames / frameTicks or timeTicks. reading the text file that comes with the extensions gives the info you see below
timeDisplayMode
Lets you get and set whether to playback the Time Display mode. It contains the corresponding value
set in the Time Configuration dialog. A Name value of #frames, #smpte, #frameTicks, #timeTicks.
so how would I wirte this in max script timeDisplayMode = #timeTicks
Thanks
no one know this then ? .Im sure I had this working a few years back but I just cant remember the right command .
Did you actually try what you wrote in your first post? Because that is all you need to do. For getting the timeDisplayMode just use ‘timeDisplayMode’, and for setting it use ‘timeDisplayMode = #timeticks’ (or #frames, #frameticks, #smpte) That’s all there is to it.

yes I did but it seems I did not have the plugin in the right place . Thanks for the help
Just put the .dlx file in your plugins folder and start Max, that’s all you need to do.
