I am sorry about that. When I said any format, I meant any form of data ie excel sheet, text etc. if I could make it a max file I most definately would :) Sorry about the non clear explanation.

Oh!!

then i think u must need a Max Script!!

But i know it little~~~sorrrrry~~i thinke i have no idea~~

waiting for the answer for it!~

Goood luck~

Yeah, you needs to get the data supplied in a format that max could read via a script. Maybe as a plain text file with the missiles XYZ cords per line i..e

0.0001 10.0010 58.000

then make a script to read in that data, turn it into an array and apply it to a dummy. Sounds simple, but isn't. Maybe you could hire or commision someone to write this script for you. its pretty much a custom job whatever way you look at it.

Thank you very much for the info. Actually I would LOVE to get into max scripting on the side. Would you happen to know of any place I could look to get info on it/tutorials/books? If so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know :) I have been wanting to learn for a while but have not had the time/resources to do so.

Thank you in advance

"Mastering MAXScript and the SDK for 3D Studio MAX " by Alexander Bicalho, Feltman. This is a good book, it works by examples and comes with a CD of source scripts etc. Other resources are....

The Maxscript help, it contains pretty much everything you need for reference.

The Max WebBoard script area, some great scripters frequent here and will often give great advice and hints/tips.

Cheers
