[Closed] startup script not evaluated?

I’ve written a macroscript which works fine if evaluated manually (Evaluate All… or ctrl + e in the maxscript editor). This very same script generates errors when put in max’s UI/macroscript folder or startup folder for an automatic evaulation at startup. I think some rollouts, variables or arrays are not set or are out of scope. Seems like the script is only partially evaluated or not evaluated in the same way as when done manually? When I manually evalute the script (in the same max session after an error) everything works fine again…

The script is large and messy, but i’ll leave part of it here:
