Hey Guys,
I am having big problems with a script im working partly because im still new to maxscript. I have a script that creates 3 new cams one center one left and one right where by the left and right are constrained to the center cam via float script, the way in which i am doing this is flored in it being that you can only have one set of cams in the scene because im using a global in the float script… if that makes any sense at all… anyways i have racked my brain with this one, so any help you have will be much appreciated…
as you can see the script sought of works in a limted capacity as is, however there is a button that is empty, this button is “supposed” to create the same type of camreas as the rest of the script but on a selected camera, the selected cam would become the center cam… once again if that makes any sense? well at least to my twisted sense of logic…
heres the code, im sure its riddled with problems so if you guys could point me in the right direction i would be very thankful
cheers
Dave
