[Closed] scripted simpleObject and macrorecorder

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if there is a way to customize what the macrorecorder prints out when a scripted simpleobject plugin is created in the scene? The reason I ask is I have a scripted plugin that stores its verts, faces, and smoothing group information in the parameter block and has the ability to change those by reading new values in through an xml file, very similar to Paul Neale’s Pen Helper (Thanks Paul :bowdown: ). Anyway, It works great, but when you create one in the scene with the macrorecorder enabled it prints out the vert, face, and smgroup info which is quite large and causes a slowdown in the creation of the object.

Thanks for any help!
–Jon

Your welcome.

I never have the macro recorder on so I don’t really know. Can you enable and disable the macro recorder via Max Script?

“Macro Recorder Toggle”:


actionMan.executeAction 0 "40471"

Doesn’t look like there is anything straight forward. Max 2013 added some rollout context to disable / enable it but we’re on 2010.
