Hey Guys,
I’m trying to encrypt my maxscript but when I use ‘encryptscript’ I get problems.
I can drag the mse file into max ok and it picks up the name and icon just fine, however when i go to customize and drag the button to the toolbar it throws an error saying: “syntax error: at name expected macroscript”
my code starts as follows:
macroScript myscript_v1_0
category:"my scripts"
tooltip:"myscript v1.0"
icon:#("mine",1)
(
-----FUNCTIONS-----....
Any Ideas?
P.S. It seems if I remove everything above —-FUNCTIONS—- it works, but obviously it doesn’t create the button without that code, it just runs each time I drag it in but I can’t find a way to add the button to a toolbar doing it this way.
You can’t encrypt Macro scripts. Best way to handle this would be to write your tool as a struct or just in side a set of brackets so that it is local then use filein to launch that script from a macro. This way you can have the main body of the code encrypted and the macro script will work as it should.
If you’re using Max2010, watch out for this bug, patched today…
