Progressbar update in function

[ypuech]

Hi,

Please, can you show us your code ?

[dutch_delight]

have you declared it as a global variable/function? can you do a check like:

if progressbar != undefined then ....yadeyadeyade

I had this same problem a while back, and one solution was to predeclare your rollout variable as global, like such:

global myRollout
include "someFunction.ms"
include "someOtherFunction.ms"

rollout myRollout "My Rollout"
(
etc.
)

You probably have something like


rollout rlt_Progress "Progress"
(
rlt_main.pbar.value = 100/i --foo
)

rollout rlt_main "Test Rollout"
(
progressbar pbar "till completion"
)


And your code is getting to the rollout rlt_Progress and since it hasn't seen rlt_main yet it is undefined.

But the code will execute through that and rlt_main will be declared as a global variable after that, meaning upon next execution the global variable rlt_main will exist and will execute properly. (Variables in Maxscript are global unless declared otherwise and will persist through resets/file-opens etc till max is exited.)

To fix these problems explicitly declare your rollouts and functions at the top of the file

global rlt_main
global rlt_Progress
global fn_function

etc.

Just as the above poster said
