[Closed] Autocomplete in the MaxScript Editor

I’ve added a new blog post that shows how to turn on autocomplete in the MaxScript editor, along with posting a script that will generate an api file that contains all of the current MaxScript commands so that they’ll show up in the autocomplete list. Click the link below to view it.

Thanks for sharing.

Hm, what? I don’t know what you could mean.

#autocompleteword.automatic=1 
#autocomplete.choose.single=1

autocompleteword.automatic=1
autocomplete.*.ignorecase=1
autocomplete.choose.single=0
autocomplete.*.start.characters=$(chars.alpha)$(chars.numeric)$_@#.

I tried this, and it doesn’t change anything, even after restarting max…?

Hey Matt. You’ve got a couple extra spaces in that last line. That might be causing a problem with it.

The blog link.

Yeah but where is it? I really don’t see it in the first post.

Still not popping up after following the instructions on enabling it :S

It’s the first post:

Thanks, but this link isn’t in the first post, is it? I don’t see it in firefox. But anyway I wanted to see the blog.

It is for me. Maybe you have to force the page to refresh. Fire Fox does that sometimes.

Hmm yeah it’s the same here.

But anyway I followed the instructions too, but it doesn’t popup. But I am using 2010, not 2011. Don’t know if this would be the reason.

Thanks,
Light

autocompleteword.automatic=1
 autocomplete.*.ignorecase=1

Same here, using 2010 32 bit. Any ideas, James? (Mind the space on the last line, CGtalk’s fault.)
