Is it possible to assign user variables for Scripted Controllers through script? I don’t seem to be able to find anything in the manual regarding this.
Thanks guys.
Sorry, my bad, I forgot to add the interface doc to the Help, it is more or less the same as for Expression controllers… Expect a public update of the Reference soon!
Wahooney,
can you give an example of what you are trying to do?
You could fetch the script, add your variables and put it back?
This sounds very complicated, though.

The script controller in max 8 has those variables that allow you to directly access scene nodes, etc.
I want to assign those variables.
I see – but I can’t help.
Sorry.

Afaik, this can only be done with Expression controllers…

That’s a bit of an embuggerance!
Yeah it is!
I suppose it’s one of those half finished additions.
It was not added to the help but the same code works for script controllers. Or you can use.

showInterfaces scCon

Thanks Paul, you’re a life saver!
I didn’t know about showInterfaces().
DUH! Ofcourse!
Thanks for the heads up Paul
