[Closed] Renaming with Weak References

Hey guys,

I have an issue with a rig I’m working on. There is a master control object that has an attribute holder with the following code. (Actually I’ve snipped all but the relevant code).

--Parameters

NameParam	Type:#String	ui:NameString
NameItems	Type:#MaxObjectTab tabsizevariable:true tabsize:0


 
--Interface

Label 		NameLabel 	"Name"
Edittext 	NameString
Button 		UpdateBtn 	"Change Name"

--Events

on UpdateBtn Pressed do
		(
		if Namestring.text != "" do
			(
			NewName = Namestring.text
			for o in NameItems do
				(
					if (isProperty o.node "MasterControl") then
						(
							o.node.name = ("! - " + NewName + " - " + o.node.basename)
						)
					else
						(
							o.node.name = (NewName + " - " + o.node.basename)
						)
				)
			)
		)

All of the objects in the rig have a custom attribute on the node level called “BaseName”.

The problem is whenever I make all the node references to the MaxObjectTab – the file becomes unopenable. I can still merge it, but any time I save, that file becomes unopenable again.

The odd part is that I have done this before, with another rig, and it works fine. I am guessing it has to do with how Sweep references the custom object node?

Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is causing max to crash? I’ve added a zip containing the max file to the scene. Again, if it doesn’t open, just merge it into the scene instead.

Many thanks,
