Hello
I am working on a script right now and I need som basic help that I don’t understand.
Right now, I have 3 spinners, one that says Start frame:, one End frame: and one for Step Size: and under that I have a button called Set.
My code for the spinners is as follows:
spinner Start_Spn “” pos:[120,80] width:64 height:16 range:[1,1000,1] type:#integer
spinner End_Spn “” pos:[120,104] width:64 height:16 range:[1,1000,100] type:#integer
spinner Step_Spn “” pos:[120,128] width:64 height:16 range:[1,10,3] type:#integer
So, nothing special there. But, when I use the spinner in my script and for example I set my Start frame to be 5 and my end frame to be 450 and the step size to be 5, after that when I click the button Set, I want max to set those values in the time config for me… I mean, when I start max, the default values is Start frame 1, end frame 100 and when I click the Set button, I want it to be changed.
How can I do that? Is it hard?
My code under the button is right now this:
on btn_Set pressed do
(
Start_Spn.value =
End_Spn.value =
Step_Spn.value =
)
So, I really don’t know “more than this”… Can someone help me out?
Regards

Hi IceMan take a look at “Interval” values in the maxScript help
To change the timeline range try this:
myInterval = interval 50 100
animationRange = myInterval
Now, the max timeline will show just the frames between 50 and 100f
Hi Iceman
try this:
on btn_Set pressed do
(
animationRange.start=Start_Spn.value
animationRange.end=End_Spn.value
)
not sure what you mean/want for the ‘Step Size’
Hello
Thanks for your answers. The thing with interval seems to be working rather good, but sorry ZBuffer, your example didn´t work at all for me, nothing happens…
In my code I have this now, first I have this for defining the Variables:
animationRange = interval 0 100
And this I have for the spinners now:
spinner RangeStart_Spn “” pos:[120,80] width:64 height:16 range:[1,1000,1]type:#integer
spinner RangeEnd_Spn “” pos:[120,104] width:64 height:16 range:[1,1000,100]type:#integer
And for the button I have this:
on btn_Set pressed do
(
animationRange = interval (RangeStart_Spn.value) (RangeEnd_Spn.value)
)
That seems to work rather good but not in it’s full like I thought. If I start my script and put up my start spinner to let’s say 7 and my end frame to 127 and press the button Set, the timelime will start at frame 7 but the end frame will be 120, not 127… How is that? What is wrong?

Yep, sorry about that,
was not with max when i replied…
this works for me (max9-32)
rollout test "test"
(
spinner RangeStart_Spn "start" type:#integer range:[0,1000,1]
spinner RangeEnd_Spn "end" type:#integer range:[1,1000,100]
button btn_Set "Set"
on btn_Set pressed do animationRange = interval RangeStart_Spn.value RangeEnd_Spn.value
)
createdialog test
Yes, it works good now thanks ZBuffer
