Hi, after trying to figure this out for about 2 hours i thought its about time to ask it here
I’m working with a dynamic rollout (used a example i found here and altered it) and trying to
create a variable when a button is pressed. Now if the variable is an integer it works, but if i try to create it as a string the script errors.
this is what works:
format " execute (\"global objecttext_3=4\")
" to:s
and this doesnt:
format " execute (\"global objecttext_3=\"stringtext\"\")
" to:s
and this is the error:
>> MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception: -- Type error: Call needs function or class, got: "global objecttext_3=" <<
I hope someone can help me with this
format " execute (\"global objecttext_3=\"[b]stringtext[/b]\"\")
" to:s
stringtext is a string within a string within a string:
format “< first string starts here
format ” execute (“< second string – escaped using
format ” execute (“global objecttext_3=“< third string – so you’ll need to escape once again
The following should work:
format " execute (\"global objecttext_3=\\\"stringtext\\\"\")
" to:s

Thanks a lot!
this really helped me getting further with my script. Never did anything with those \ escapes before so this is quite a challenge
here is the latest piece of code im using in my script:
format " execute (\"global objecttext_\"+ rolloutCounter as string+\"=\"+\"\\\"stringtext\\\"\")
" to:s
this allows me to create a unique variable whenever a new rollout is created.
Thanks again for the fast response!
