okay i feel realing dumb with this one. Its for the maxscript challenge.

For those who dont know the subject, you have to make a script to get Info for your scene.

So what i made is a script that go trought the scene and get object of the same class and slap 'hem in respective array.
Everything's fine now but i keep hitting the same prob And i'm sure i already found the answer some time ago but i memory is a thing that forget :D

Problem: Be able to get the number of Object in an array and return the corresponding number to a checkbutton.
Something like
checkbutton OBjCount " Object Counter"
on ObjCount changed state do
if state ==on
then ObjCount.text = ""
else ObjCount.Text = number of object in array -- <-- i'm stuk here


man i'm sure its just too easy.
WHo think i gonna find the answer on my own as soon as i send the tread?

have you tried

checkbutton OBjCount " Object Counter"
on ObjCount changed state do
if state ==on
then ObjCount.text = ""
else ObjCount.Text = (array.count as string)

yes and i look to me like it was the logical way but u got
--unknown property: "Count" in checkbuttoncontrol:LightCount
anyways i'll have to go in the maxscript ref again.

thanks for trying

[edit] i modify array name to ObjCount and i got
--unknow property: "COUNT" in 5.
weird but i think i'm getting closer.

[edit again] find it. it was some stoopid typo mistake. that what happen when youre tired and tried to script :D
THANK AGAIN MrBaker

Can I suggest for a start that you bracket your code so it's easier to read, like so:



on objCount changed state do
(
if state == on then
(
objCount.text = ""
)
else
(
objCount.text = (myArray.count as string)
)
)

If you modify your array name to the same name as the button object, you're going to run into problems. You have to use unique names for each variable.
