[Closed] Trying to convert string array to object array

Jun 28, 2006 1:17 am

Im a newbie trying to convert a string (MergedArrayNames) to an object array called: MergedObjectArray

However, when I try to access the MergedObjectArray, I get an error:
Runtime error: Attempt to access deleted scene object.

Heres my code

–First I merge a file and Get the object names in the file…

mergeMAXFile AFile
MergedArrayNames = getMAXFileObjectNames AFile

–Then I attempt to Loop through the objects To find the ones in the MergedArrayNames

for x in objects do
(
ThisObjectIsRepresentedInStringArray = for qq = 1 to MergedArrayNames.count where x.name == MergedArrayNames[qq] collect x
append MergedObjectArray ThisObjectIsRepresentedInStringArray
)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’m not with MAX right now, so I can’t verify if this works:

mergeMAXFile AFile
MergedArrayNames = getMAXFileObjectNames AFile
 
local sakArray = #()
 
for o in objects do (
for i = 1 to mergedArrayNames.count do (
if (mergedArrayNames[i] == o.name) then (
append sakArray mergedArrayNames[i]
)
)
)

Thanks for the code, I figured out my mistake; by looking at your code.

I forgot to clear out the global array each time (How embarrasing).
