Hi!

I'm using scripted controllers which depend on other properties of the object they are assigned to. So i need to reference to this object in the script.
I read in the maxscript that there is no way to get the node the controller is working on expect for this one:


refsArray = (refs.dependents this)
for i in refsArray where isvalidnode i do (mynode=i)


But this doesn't really work since refsArray may contain more than only one node where isvalidnode i is true.
If there is another way to get the node the controller is working on, PLEASE tell it to me.

Now it thought ich could assign the controller script by another script. a little user interface, where you can pick an object and then assign the scripted controller and this interfaces script automatically adds a script controller, copies the script in the script controller and adds a variable with the reference to the object the controller just got added to.


Is this possible? and if yes - how do i add the script by script to the scripted controller?


Thanks!

What track is this script controller on. You might be able to add the node to the script controller itself.

the controller is in the secound slot of a rotation list. But why is this important? does it matter where it is?

Ss there another way besides a scripted controller to create a script which gets executed every frame or everytime there is an interaction with a certain object?
