Hello again everyone,
Well I’m trying to find the words on what I’m looking for. I wanna say is there a way to reinitialize a max script when running it. Whats happening is I’ll run what I’ve got for example its to apply an AO set up I use. But I put a fetch option to revert back to the origianl set up in there and that works great too. But if I decide to reapply the AO set up again it doesnt take effect. So I just run the script again and it works good again. Just wondering if theres a way so that the script refreshes. I hope this makes sence.
Alex
My guess is you have a scope issue that is stopping it from running. Instead of trying to find a way to rerun the script I suggest finding out why you need to in the first place. Try posting the code here I’m sure on of us can tell you what is going wrong.
well to reload a script:
fileIn (getSourceFileName())
Yeah PEN here’s the base of it. I’m still learning so it may be a little sloppy compared to what your use to seeing. And thanks for replying PEN and RappyBMX

I didnt get one thing, you say Hold and then Fetch, work ? Or doesnt work the way you wanted? If it works, just use that, if you dont want to use that… dunno maybe using: with undo on()
Kameleon – yes it works. Just not sure where I went wrong for it to only work once thou. And I guess I was just asking if there was a way to just have the script reload it’s self after an action is pressed for a quick fix.
Well, I guess the main “problem” is when you’re changing the render settings, I dont think Undo will revert that. I’m not sure but maybe before changing the render settings, you could copy the settings to a variable and restore that afterwards. Also you could use scene states to create different scene states for the materials, it would be easier to restore the original version after.
