View Full Version : Controller Condition issue

I created a plugin, to which I want to add a simple if condition, but it's not working on MAX 2012.

Here's my script:

if $.pos.controller != path_constraint then messageBox "Apply Path Constraint";

In both cases, when I have a path_constraint applied to my position controller or not he's sending me the message "Apply Path Constraint". :banghead:

Would something like this work?
if not (isKindOf $.pos.controller path_constraint) do messageBox "Apply Path Constraint"

isKindOf compares the class of the first parameter to the second parameter, and returns true if they're the same.

Another way to write it would have been :

if (classof $.pos.controller == path_constraint) then messageBox "Apply Path Constraint"

isKindOf kinda uses classOf to return its value.

isKindOf also compares the second parameter with the superClass of the first so:
isKindOf $ light would return true if you have any kind light selected.
