I’m trying to get my head around the function, use and implementation of callbacks. As I delve further and further into the world of maxscript, the use of callbacks seem to crop up quite a bit! Anyone care to elaborate, or should I wait for my cgacademy DVDs (where I assume they will be covered)?
Callbacks are simply bits of MaxScript code you can register to execute when a given event occurs in Max. Like when an object is renamed, or the selection set changes, or after a file is loaded, etc. There’s tons of events you can use.
Look for “callbacks” in the MaxScript help file, and read the main page. It does a good job of explaining the details at a high level, and the detailed sections are below it.
It didn’t do a good enough job, because that’s why I asked here! Thanks for the explanation.
