[Closed] CacheOps Weird Behavior

Dec 05, 2012 9:40 pm

Hi Everyone,

I’m currently working with PointCache file with maxscript and i’m having troubles trying to make it work properly. Here is my code (i just kept the lines that throw exception) :

for obj in selection do 
( 
	PCMod = obj.modifiers[#PointCache]
	cacheOps.Unload PCMod
)

If i have one object selected it work nicely, the PC is Unloaded, but if i have more than one object selected it throws an exception :

Runtime error: Cache Not Selected In Modifier StackPoint_Cache:Point Cache

I can’t figure out why the code don’t work for more thant one object selected.

Thanks.

Tony.

Do you have to be in the modifer stack for the object in question, im working with point cache atm and tend to do:

max modify mode

--Call your loop
modpanel.setCurrentObject obj.modifiers[#PointCache]

I found the way, using your advice :

myselection = selection as array
	
for i=1 to myselection.count do 
( 
	max modify mode
	
	PCMod = myselection[i].modifiers[#PointCache]
	
	--Call your loop
	modpanel.setCurrentObject PCMod
			
	cacheOps.Unload PCMod
)

I need to store the selection first because setCurrentObject change this selection.
Thanks.
