Hi all!
I’m having tons of fun using lots of cool Maxscripts I’ve been collecting lately, although I seem to be have a small problem…
In this case I’m using The Onion (layer manager) and although I CAN locate it in customize UI and assign a keyboard shortcut to open it, I can’t seem to close the floater with the same shorcut again like one would do with the material editor by tapping ‘M’. How can I make it so that a keyboard shortcut both opens and closes a floater?
I’d also like to know how to properly prepare custom Icons so that MAX indexes them correctly in the ‘customize button appearance’ list.
Cheers!
Hi,
windows in MAX can be closed with ALT-F4 (they must have focus)
else
if you want a toggle button like the Material editor, you need to code a ‘on ischecked’ handler,
inside the macroscript.
for icons you must have 2 versions: one for 24×24 and one for 16×16
each of them must have a color and mask file.
so you end up with4 files:
Myicons_24i.bmp (24 pixels size color)
Myicons_24a.bmp (24 pixels size alpha)
Myicons_16i.bmp (16 pixels size color)
Myicons_16abmp (16 pixels size alpha)
note: each file must have the same number of icons
look in the UI/icons folder for examples
