[size=2][color=white]Hello,
I have been working on this plugin script for a while and it has just stopped working in that it does not appear in the create panel anymore.
This happened very suddenly and have found that some other plugins I have written dont seem to appear in the create panel either when I run them although they usually work fine…!!!
I am new to maxscript and havent come accross this before does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Spencer

The first thing I notice is that there is no ClassID assigned to the scripted-plugin. The classID is how Max keeps track of instances of the plug-in in the scene. You can generate one by running GenClassID() in the Listener Window. You may also want to force “invisible” to false.
plugin geometry ClicCreator
name:“ClicCreator”
classID:#(0x68e0b42, 0x51544f60)
category:“Pumphouse Events”
invisible:false
Hi,
Thanks for that. Im not sure if thats necessary for a plugin that simply creates objects that do not require to be modified once created. i read somewhere that there are different levels of plugin, Im not sure if that might be to do with a higher level.
Truth is im not sure as i am very new to maxscript. I tried using that and it didnt seem to make any difference.
Is there an absolute mininum script you can use to just a get a new category to show in the create panel like:
[size=1]plugin geometry ClicCreator
name:“ClicCreator”
category:“Pumphouse Events”
invisible:false
()
Its really confusing as the 3 simple plugins I have created so far always seemed to show up, now they don’t.??
