Hi, guys! I’m trying to create some extra-scripted-buttons for using with MAX, and after taking a look at help files and related documents, I think I’ve got them working. I’ve been reading about ClassID, and the help file says:
[left]The class ID is basically a pair of numbers, chosen randomly so that (hopefully) they wont conflict with another plug-in. MAXScript provides a method to generate a fresh random class ID each time you run it:
[/left]
[left]genClassID[returnValue:<boolean>]
[/left]
[left]This method generates a random class ID similar to #(0x9b7ea231, 0xb6db86ef), and prints it by default to Listener. You can cut and paste this class ID into your script to use the generated ID.
[/left]
Well, that may be silly to you, but what in the world do you have to put in the listener to obtain those pair of numbers? I understand that <boolean> has to be ‘true’ or ‘false’, but if I type…
genClassID[returnValue:true]
[font=Verdana]… listener points me an error. I’ve tried with several combinations of symbols, but couldn’t get it.
Can you point me how to type this sentence to obtain those numbers?
Thanks!

genClassID()
Hey, Paul, thanks a lot dude
For future reference, any time you see parameters to a method in the help file and they’re enclosed within square brackets it means those parameters are optional.
genClassID [returnValue:<boolean>] means you can execute the command as either:
genClassID()
or
genClassID returnValue:true (or false)
The square brackets do not get included in your code.
