Hi everyone,
I have just started with maxscript and I’m trying to learn it. I’m trying to understand for loops and arrays and have got my self a little problem with probably a trivial solution. I hope there is someone that can help me with this!
My goal is to make one row of n connected boxes, all with varying width. Here is my script this far:
W = #()
for i=1 to 10 do
(
sumWidth=0; for val in W do (sumWidth += val)
width= (random 4 10)
pos=sumWidth
Box lengthsegs:1 widthsegs:1 heightsegs:1 length:5 width:width height:5 mapcoords:on pos:[0,0,0] isSelected:on
$.pivot = ($.center - [(width/2),0,0])
if i<2 then
$.position = [0,0,0]
else
$.position = [pos,0,0]
W[i] = width

fn fn_boxRow = (
delete objects
local b
local k = 0
local rng
local pos = [0,0,0]
local obj = #()
for i = 1 to 10 do
(
rng = (random 4 10)
b = box()
b.wirecolor = [random 0 255, random 0 255, random 0 255 ]
b.length = 1
b.height = 1
b.width = rng
append obj b
)
for i = 2 to (obj.count ) do (
obj[i].pos.x = (obj[(i - 1)].max.x + (obj[i].width /2.0))
)
)
