When I open comet rigg I get this dialog(but I can not find errors in the rigg after that):
“MAXScript Script Controller Exception”
! – Runtime error: Illegal self – reference in controller script
and other dialog after that with button Evaluete and Close:
“Script Controller:”
dependsOn $‘char_handLCTRL’ $‘char_elbowLCTRL’;

– Wrap this in a cA.get to make sure we have CA’s now.
– Otherwise on a load or merge, 3dsMAX might try to execute
– this before the CA’s get loaded in! This way it waits until
– everything is fully loaded before -really- calculating.
myD = custAttributes.get $‘char_handLCTRL’.Attribute_Holder 1;
if (myD != undefined) then

–
– This script takes two helpers on the wrist to get a
– local hand “Y” vector, and then unrotates it
– by the rotation on the lower arm.
– This way the hand vector is now aligned to the
– coordinate space of the lower arm.
– At that point I can get what would be the rotation around
– the lowerArms X axis using the Y axis as reference
– (using Y means Y is still correct even if it rotates
– up/down on the Y axis causing the Z to move)
– Because we’ve rotated the hand’s world space rotation
– back by the lower arm readers rotation, this all
– works in the coordinates of the lower arm, thereby
– giving us proper values, even though the hand
– is not in the hierarchy.
– Using simple trig (SOH CAH TOA) we can get the angle
– of the twist.

-- Get rotation in world of lower arm
rotStart = $'char_lowArmReaderLINT'.rotation as eulerangles;

– X is axis down bone, Z is up, but will probably move a lot, so look at one back/sideways = Y

– First make sure we don’t have a divide by 0 error…
if (endY.z != 0) then
autoTwistX = atan (endY.y / endY.z) +90;
– Then if we have crossed above the Y=0 line, we will have a 180 flip, so handle that…
if (endY.z > 0) then

autoTwistX -= 180;

autoTwistX = -1*autoTwistX; – Do this just so things rotate the right way
