Hey all,
Just getting my feet wet with Maxscript, and would love to be able to have autocomplete working either within the Maxscript editor, or an external editor.
I have autocomplete based on my current script contents working, and I followed the instructions by James Haywood here: http://apps.jhaywood.com/Blog/?e=51577&d=07/13/2010&s=Autocomplete%20in%20the%20MaxScript%20Editor
But for some reason it doesn’t work on my end. In fact, when I add the extra properties he lists it disables the autocomplete based on my current script contents.
It’s possible I’ve done something completely wrong of course :banghead:
I started looking for an external editor I could use, but most of the information is outdated and not sure if it would still apply. I’m using 2012 x64 if that makes any difference.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel
Works for me. I have this in my user options file:
autocomplete.*.start.characters=$(chars.alpha)$(chars.numeric)$_@#.
api.*.ms=maxscript.api
autocompleteword.automatic=1
autocomplete.*.ignorecase=1
autocomplete.choose.single=0
I ran his script to generate the api file, and restarted Max.
Cheers martinez!
That did it. According to James’ instructions, I originally put the autocomplete snippets in my Global Options, which didn’t work for me. But adding it to the User Options worked perfect.
Thanks again :buttrock:
