[Closed] Very wierd bug

In trying to get the dimensions of the bounding box of an object, I’m getting a very wierd error…

First of all, there doesn’t seem to be a function built in to get this. The only way I see is to use [size=2]getModContextBBoxMin and getModContextBBoxMax, which give the min and max corners of the bounding box given a modifier for context.[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]So, I must first add a modifier to the object – any modifier, it doesn’t matter which.[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]Then, for each of the 3 dimensions, I compute the difference between the max and min.[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]Finally, I delete the modifier.[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]Here’s the strange issue…[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]If I run the function on an object that ALREADY HAS a modifier attached, it works.[/size]
[size=2][/size]
If the object does not have a modifier, I add a modifier…but it doesn’t work. If I run it again, it will work the next time though.

[size=1][size=2]Now, perhaps you are thinking that after I add the modifier, there is not enough time for Max to actually setup the modifier before the code that uses it is run? So, I put it in a loop to wait for several seconds inbetween – same results!??[/size][/size]
[size=1][size=2][/size][/size]
[size=1][size=2]This has got to be the wierdest bug ever…[/size][/size]
[size=1][size=2][/size][/size]
[size=1][size=2]

[size=1][size=2]function getBoundingBox o =
 (
 deleteFlag = false
  
 if (o.modifiers.count == 0) do
 (
	deleteFlag = true
	addModifier o (Bend()) --add temp modifier for the calc
 )
  
 
xdim = ceil (abs(((getModContextBBoxMin o o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count] - getModContextBBoxMax o o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count]) as point3).x))
 
ydim = ceil (abs(((getModContextBBoxMin o o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count] - getModContextBBoxMax o o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count]) as point3).y))
 
zdim = ceil (abs(((getModContextBBoxMin o o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count] - getModContextBBoxMax o o.modifiers[o.modifiers.count]) as point3).z))
 
 
if (deleteFlag == true) then
 [size=2]deleteModifier o o.modifiers[1]
  
[ydim, xdim, zdim]
 
)
