hello all,
I would like to create a script for facial control setup, wich copy a specific track from an object (for example the position.x track of a bone) and paste instance to an another specific tracktrack (the posx attribute I have previously define in an attributes holder)
I have spend hours reading the maxscript help and I haven’t find the correct syntax for this task. If anyone have an idea of the method I could use, It would be very helpfull
Say we have two box objects.
You could do it like this:
$Box01.position.controller.x_position.controller = Box02.position.controller.x_position.controller

Yes, this is correct apart from a small typo (“$” is missing in front of “Box02” ). But it also makes Box01 follow Box02 concerning the x axis because their instances refer to the same controller. If you want to have a unique controller on each object use this…
$Box01.position.controller.x_position.controller = copy $Box02.position.controller.x_position.controller
thanks a lot for your reply
by the way, searching through the forum I have found the answer on another post.
using this I have write this piece of code:
ctrlmouth = box lengthsegs:1 widthsegs:1 heightsegs:1 length:0.45 width:0.50 height:0.2 transform:(matrix3 [1,0,0] [0,0,1] [0,-1,0] [1.25,0.1,0.075]) wireColor:[176,26,26] name:[size=1]"ctrlmouth"
[/size]addModifier ctrlmouth (PEN_Attribute_Holder_2 ())
caExe =[size=1]"ca = attributes PersoMouth
"
[/size]caExe +=[size=1]"(
"
[/size]caExe +=[size=1]" parameters mouth
