Hello maxscript masters,
Is there a way to avoid slider skipping values ?
Example simplified code:
rollout slide ""
(
slider slide "Slider" range:[0,100,0] type:#integer
on slide changed val do print val
)
createdialog slide
If you move the slider from 0 to 100 super fast it skips most of the values.
I’m trying to make a script that makes sort of a ‘switch’ on a specific slider value. If I move it super slow it works, but if I move fast it completely ignores my “if” expression.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Regards
rollout slide ""
(
slider slide "Slider" range:[0,100,0] type:#integer
local lastval = 0
on slide changed val do
(
step = if (val > lastval) then 1 else -1
for k = lastval to val by step do print k
lastval = amin (amax 0 (val + step)) 100
)
)
createdialog slide
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you very very much denisT !!!
Hello again.
I’m bringing this topic back. I though for a long time that my script is working correct, but … surprise it doesn’t
rollout slide ""
(
slider slide "Slider" range:[0,100,30] type:#integer
local lastval = 30.0
local defBig = 70.0
local defSmall = 30.0
local range=100.0
on slide changed val do
(
step = if (val > lastval) then 1 else -1
for k = lastval to val by step do (
print k -- debug
print step --debug
if k >= 30 then (
morphCurrent=WM3_MC_GetValue$base_Legs.morpher 2
morphCurrent=morphCurrent+(range/defBig)*step
WM3_MC_SetValue$base_Legs.morpher 2 morphCurrent
)
if k <= 30 then (
morphCurrent=WM3_MC_GetValue$base_Legs.morpher 6
morphCurrent=morphCurrent+(range/defSmall)*step
WM3_MC_SetValue$base_Legs.morpher 6 morphCurrent
)
)
lastval = amin (amax 0 (val + step)) 100
)
)
createdialog slide
What this portion of the script is suppose to do:
A slider that controls 2 different morph channels. Above 30 – channel 2 , below 30 – channel 6.
The full script control multiple bone sizes and positions, and more morph channels.
I’m aware that in this case I can set the morph value by using the “k” variable directly.
Something like this I suppose:
morphCurrent=(30.0 - k) * (100.0 / 30.0) as float
But I want to do it step by step in а cumulative way if it’s possible. The problem is that “step” variable jumps around: 1, -1 , 1 ,1 , -1 even if I push the slider in a single direction, so using it as step doesn’t give me a precise result at all.
Thank you very much in advance for you time!
