[Closed] Maxscript ' manage scene states' tool?

I’m using the batch render tool to kick out multiple light passes from the same scene

The batch render tool uses ‘scene states’ to turn things on and off etc.
‘scene states’ predate ‘state sets’ but do similar things.

I’d like to program a tool to automatically generate light passes using the batch renderer.
I’ve written maxscipt to submit jobs to the batch renderer. And I’d need a scene state per light to turn things on and off

BUT…

I can’t find any code to generate new scene states
Are scene states max scriptible ? has anyone done this ?
