Creating a sine function is pretty basic, but how can I create a similar function except linear in maxscript?
I’ve managed to create such waveform in Desmos graph calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator/oqgzjzz6r0
but I can’t figure out how to translate it into maxscript properly.
Anyone know how?

(
delete objects
sp = splineshape()
addnewspline sp
for a = -360 to 360 by 180 do addknot sp 1 #corner #line [a, 0, (cos a)*90]
updateshape sp

amplitude and axis adjust yourself

0.5 + (asin(cos(x*2))/180

Yes, that’s what I was looking for!
0.5 + (asin(cos(x)))/180 is the exact formula I need.
Big thanks!

Bonus, without any trig:
2 * abs ((mod (abs x) 180.) / 180. - .5)
