Like Blue said, the point needs to be animated before it can be accessed/changed through maxscript. Cheers, Martijn

I might be terribly wrong here, but I think angle = acos faceNorm.z will return the same results as angle = (acos (dot faceNorm [0,0,1] )). So that el…

If you already have a reference to the node stored in a variable (foo in your case), you can simply access the controller using ( foo = $Bone01 fooba…

You don’t need the execute command here (which is slow and is best avoided whenever possible). Instead, you could use the getNodeByName command: obj …

Could you post an example of this (an obj file, plus its accompanying “edge hardness” file)? Cheers, Martijn

You need the inverse tangent function to calculate the angle. Divide the adjacent (Pitch01Forward) by the opposite side (Pitch01Up) and calculate the …

I don’t think there’s any way to check if any given string contains a valid expression. You could, however, validate the string against a fixed list o…
