[Closed] Layers in Slider – a problem
Mar 12, 2006 2:55 pm
I’m writing a scripts through which one can access the layer properties by simply dragging a slider. There are two sliders, first will set the layer number and second sets the properties (hidden, frozen etc) corresponding to that layer.
This way you dont have to go to layer manager or layer properties at all.
Its giving an error when you create additional layers while the script is running. The error occurs only when I try to set either ‘hidden’ or ‘frozen’ property of the added layer by dragging the slider.
The error is related to one of the sliders and has nothing to do with layers. If you ignore the error the script works for some time then max crashes.
Can someone please suggest a solution?
Here is the script –
--Set layer properties using a slider
