Hello,
I’m hoping someone could help me, I’m new to working with maxscript. I have the following script. (The entire code is at the bottom)
on PitchButton picked obj do
(
PitchButton.text = obj.name
PitchAnimation = obj
)
if PitchButton != undefined then
(
SelectedObject = (pitchanimation as string + “.rotation.” + pEdit).controller – controller I want to read
VehicleMotion = $VehicleMotion.custom_attributes[#Pitch][#Pitch_Animation].controller – controller I’m writing to
CheckBox SelectedObject VehicleMotion --current function (works when both Selected Object and VehicleMotion are custom_attributes)
)
PitchButton: is selecting an object that I want to read the keys from.
pEdit: is text entered into an Edit Text box. (example x_rotation)
What I’m trying to achieve is SelectedObject into a controller so I can read the keys, and have them copied to the VehicleMotion controller. Currently when I run (pitchanimation as string + “.rotation.” + pEdit).controller I get prompted “–Unknown property: “controller” in “$Dummy:Pitch @ [60.274170,3094.132080,0.000000].rotation.x_rotation” ($Dummy:Pitch is the selected object.). When I run the VehicleMotion in the listener, I get “Controller:Bezier_Float”. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, that SelectedObject isn’t letting me run the string as a controller.
I have the PitchButton in an “if then” because I want to have it checked to see if anything is selected and if not to ignore it. However, for some reason the script still tires to read this part of the script. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if needed I can paste the entire script if that will make things easier to understand. Thanks
