[Closed] how to put this to an array

$.position.controller.keys

Is an array with all the keys related to the position controller. You can access their time and a few other things :

for key in $.position.controller.keys do print key.time

[doc]( http://forums.cgsociety.org/ )

fn getKeyNum node =
(
	keyarr=#()
	key_num = numkeys node.position.controller
	
	while key_num > 0 do 
	(
		append keyarr (getkeytime node.position.controller key_num)
		key_num -=1
	)
	sort keyarr
)

getKeyNum selection[1]

Thanks for the reply ,i am a beginner in maxscript sorry for multiply question
i didn’t well undrestand the above script so it cause me another question

here it is

 	fn getKeyNum node =
 	(
 		keyarr=#()
 		key_num = numkeys node.position.controller
 		
 		while key_num > 0 do 
 		(
 			append keyarr (getkeytime node.position.controller key_num)
 			key_num -=1
 		)
 		sort keyarr
 	)
 Arr=getKeyNum $		-- it turns   #(0f, 7f, 13f, 26f)
 	
 lastElement =  arr[arr.count]		--it turns 26f
 
  oo = for i in  Arr do
 	(
 	newarr=#()
 	oo = (i+lastElement	)
 		print oo
 	)
 		
 for i in newarr do(slidertime= i)
 

again i can’t put it in an array

@k4noe : There is no need to collect key times in an array and use a sort, since all keys are already sorted and stored in the controller.keys array. If you want to collect only the times and not the keys :

keyTimes = for key in $.position.controller.keys collect key.time

@ScriptLover : You have to reorganize your code and learn some of the basics :

 
  oo = for i in  Arr do
(
	      newarr=#()
	  oo = (i+lastElement)
	  print oo
)

This newarr shouldn’t be instantiated in the for loop. It’s not evend used.
If you want to grab all the elements with a for loop you can use the “collect” instead of “do”
If you just want to append a variable to an array use “append”

append array var

Again, the documentation is here to help you

Thank you all

Max’s Key arrays are frustrating to use (surprise!)

s = sphere()
animate on (
	at time 0 ( s.pos = [0,0,0] )
	at time 10 (s.pos = [10,0,0] )
	at time 20 (s.pos = [20,0,0] )
	at time 30 (s.pos = [30,0,0] )
)
c = s[#transform][#position][#x_position].controller
k2 = c.keys[2]
k2.value -- returns 10
i = getkeyIndex c 20
k3 = getKey c i
k3.time = 5
sortkeys c
k2.value -- returns 20: key value is a reference to the maxKeyArray index, not a MaxKey value

It’s best not to hold onto the key values beyond a single operation.

Damn controllers. Thanks for the tip Denis & Rotu.
I’m going to have to double check all my code now…

Thanks for all your reply
i hope i didn’t miss a very basic rule again.

here the try to get all the keys in pos rot and scale of an animated object

Arr=#($.pos.controller ,$.rotation.controller,$.scale.controller )
  
  AllkeysTime =
  	for i in Arr collect
  	(
  	fn collectKeyTimes i sorted:on = if isController i and numKeys i > -1 do
  		(
  			if sorted do sortKeys i  --controller2
  			for k in i.keys collect k.time.frame
  		)
  		collectKeyTimes i
  	)
  	
  cntArray=#()	--creat an empty array
  for i in AllkeysTime do ( join cntArray i 	) --join each controller keys to the Finalarr
  
  FinallArray = makeUniqueArray cntArray

Here is my first question, how to make these number sort?
not knowing the answer, I found a page to find the last key of an animationrange and here it is

	
  ----To get the last keys in a animation range
  sortkeys $.controller
  arr1 = $.position.controller.keys
  arr2 = $.Rotation.controller.keys
  arr3 = $.scale.controller.keys
  --arr4 =
  endtime = 0
  for i = 1 to 3 do
  (	
  	if (execute ("arr" + i as string + ".count")>0) do
  	(
  		key_time = (execute ("arr" + i as string + "[arr" + i as string + ".count]"+".time"))
  		if key_time > endtime then
  		endtime = key_time
  	)
  )
  format "endtime = %
" endtime

–So the result
FinallArray
Endtime

Now another question i like to say for n time of the num, we sum Endtime with FinallArray element and resultingarray get sum with Endtime

  fn AdEnTime Tharray lastkey = (for i in Tharray collect ( i + lastkey))
  
  AdEnTime FinallArray  Endtime
  
  num=2
  for i = 1 to num collect
      (
      Theplus = AdEnTime FinallArray  Endtime
      Thefinal =AdEnTime Theplus  Endtime
      )
  

but it just repeat 2 times

Thanks in advance

For the first question i think Sort is not bad

	Arr = #(0.0, 7.0, 9.0, 14.0, 27.0, 12.0)
      	Sort Arr
      ---result
      	#(0.0, 7.0, 9.0, 12.0, 14.0, 27.0)

  and for the second question 

Arr = #(0.0, 7.0, 9.0, 14.0, 27.0, 12.0)
 sortArr = sort Arr
 Endtime=Arr[Arr.count]
 num = 4
   
 ResultArray = for i = 1 to num collect
   (
 	arr = for i in arr collect (i +Endtime)
   )
 

–and if you need all the element of resultArray which is a Multidimensional array here and was my goal to make this post here:

 
  for j=1 to resultArray.count do
 	(
 		for i in resultArray[j] do (print i)
 	)

This time thanks God .
