[Closed] How to use those Afterburn methods

Hi,

I’m not an expert yet in Maxscript but I’m trying to use the afterburn methods.

for example this one from the doc:

<void>AddPartsDaemon <node>particle_daemon

what does the “<void>” means?

Does anyone would be kind enough to write an example with it for me?

For example I want to add the “PFlow-ABurnNuages001” to my afterburn Effect named “AfterburnNuages001”. I tried this (and many others ) and it did not work:

AfterburnNuages001.AddPartsDaemon $‘PFlow-ABurnNuages001’

thanks in advance!

Hey Strob,

Something like this would work:

aBurn = getAtmospheric 1 –get the Atmospheric by index
aBurn.AddPartsDaemon $‘PFlow-ABurn001’ –add the daemon

<void> is generally where you would have a node that you want to call a function on. It means something like empty data type. I am sure somebody else could give a proper explanation for it.

it means that the return value type of this method is the <void> type, or in practicality, nothing.
