[Closed] Make particle view event unrenderable?

Mar 30, 2011 11:53 pm

I want to make an arbitrary event in particle view un-renderable.
To do so, I right-click the event, then check ‘renderable’ to off…
…but the macro recorder returns a blank line when I do so.
How would I do this with maxscript?

Example:
local myTestEvent = Event()

Trying this syntax doesn’t work:
myTestEvent.renderable = off

Shouldn’t this event inherit a renderable property from node?
Value > MaxWrapper > Node > Helper

Thanks!

   theEvent = $Event_01
   theEvent.renderable = false

You need the Event name.

Event() only creates a new event, in which you need to call it by name or node or whatever to access it properties.

You can for instance:


   Event name:"myNewEvent"
   theNewEvent = $myNewEvent
   theNewEvent.renderable = false

or more condensed:


   theNewEvent = Event name:"myNewEvent" renderable:false

EDIT:I should also say read the section in the mxs help about creating new events. This stuff can be quirky.
