Hi!
I have a problem reading variables in script controller. I know how to get variable names inside script controller, and what number they have.
I have for example “controlY”, which is connected to object’s Y channel. What i can’t get is the full information about node, to which this variable is connected :
$Teapot01.pos.controller.‘Y Position’
So, i think it should be relatively easy to read this info, but i just couldn’t find out how.
-
I tried everything from Methods list, which i got with showInterfaces
-
I hope .PrintDetails() isn’t only way to read this thing? i guess i just missed the correct command…
You can add node’s as varaible references.
Create a varaible called TEA, click “node” and assign it to $Teapot01.
Now you can use TEA in your script.
Thanks, but that isn’t what i asked. I want to get variable content, or whatever it is called from a separate script.
for example:
x = $Teapot01.rotation.controller.Y_Rotation.controller
x.PrintDetails()
-
Description:
(null) -
Expression:
0 -
Variables
Members: 5- T, Constant = 0.0
- S, Constant = 0.0
- F, Constant = 0.0
- NT, Constant = 0.0
- myVar, Track: $Box01.rotation.controller.‘Y Rotation’, tick offset = 0
“

So, i’m looking for a way to read information on last line. It feels like not so good way to get the infromation, since it’s in string format when i use printDetails command… What i managed to do, is get other info, like name of variable and so on, using these commands:
GetValue
GetNode
GetObject -
But not the information on last line… $Box01.rotation.controller.‘Y Rotation’
oh, you can use the same methods as the “expression controller”.
y = x.getValue “Y Position”
EDIT: Sorry, misread your post. I don’t think you can get the full reference of the varaible. It’s not exposed in MaxScript.
ok, thanks for info! I already made a script which reads the information from .printDetails output
