Hello everyone!
This might be a noob question, but can’t figure this out. I’m quite new to MAXscript, and i have this simple problem:
I’m trying to make a script which renders from multiple cameras, and I would like to run a Pre-render script before every camera, which rotates planes (cutout people) facing the camera.
For the rotating I have a script “rotPeople”, which is loaded from an mcr file. If I run it from MAX manually (I hit X, and type “rotPeople”) it runs OK.
Now I try to make this a Pre-render script, so I in the listener I type:
callbacks.addScript #PreRender “rotPeople”
the listener output says “OK”.
But when I hit render, the script does not run, the planes don’t rotate.
If I try:
callbacks.addScript #PreRender filename:”<file path>”
the listener output also says “OK”.
But when hitting render, I get an error saying: “–Runtime error: fileIn: can’t open file – <file path> “
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help,

(
global RotPeople
fn RotPeople =
(
--here you can just put the function for rotation
)
callbacks.removeScripts id:#preRenderrotPeople
callbacks.addScript #preRender "RotPeople()" id:#preRenderrotPeople
)
Thanks for the help, this worked!
Also, I figured out that when referring to an .ms file, I can’t define it with a single string, but only by using the function:
pathConfig.appendPath <foldername> <filename>
So this method worked as well.
Sometimes using this method, i get an error. My code looks something like this:
global filepath
filepath = path_string
fn save_cc =
(
vfbcontrol #saveglobalccpreset filepath
)
callbacks.addScript #postrender “save_cc()”
Sometimes I get a popup window with this message:
callbacks.setScript “wanted 1, got 3”
Some other time I run the same script, and it works.
What causes this?
Why you just add script and don’t remove it back?
