try pressing te esc key when this happens

thanks ill try it out!

I have had the same problem from time to time. Nothing will execute anymore. Not even if you use the listener to try something simple. It seems to always happen after an error. From what I can remember though, I have always had to restart max at that point as well.

had the same prob last night… and chased it to the object being “bad” i.e. corrupted… so maxscript crashed… in that case you cant do anythingbut to restart…

it cant happen by any fault in the script. only if you are working with some objects then one of the object will be bad…

fix — check on each object to see which object is bad
or select all objects >> convert to editable mesh >> convert to editable poly… this will reset all the properties of the objects and they will be as good as new… remember if you only change to editable poly it will still retain its properties.
