[Closed] execute string in loop

It happens because you didn’t copy the whole code, notice the ( and ) around my code. You’re probably working without those in your code. I highly recommend to always use that around all code, your code will improve and probably debug better, because less globals floating around. Read up on local and global variables.

yes, good point. I don’t know why I couldn’t do it the first time I tried. I get very confused when mixing strings and literals and maxscript commands and executes…I don’t know what to enclose in quotes and what not to…thanks for the clarification.I was going cross-eyed. There’s got to be an easier way! I’m writing to that guy who came up with maxscript in UK and giving him a piece of my mind.
