[Closed] Extending the Tape Helper

I’m trying to write a scripted plugin which extends the Tape Helper. However, I am running into some strange behavior I am hoping someone can explain. When I use the mouse to create my object, a Tape object is created instead. I can create my object in MaxScript but its parameters rollout doesnt appear and its not selectable with the mouse.

This all makes me think that there are some event handlers registered (or something?) for the creation of a Tape object that are getting called instead of my plugins constructor?

Can anyone explain whats happening!?

Thanks in advance!
