Hello there guys,
Í have no really idea about maxscript, and i haven´t managed to make something very simple:

the idea is to select a bunch of vertices in a mesh ( wether in editable poly, edit poly or mesh poly select...) run the script and it will create a point helper per vertex selected, and in the position of each vertex...any ideas on how to do that?

thanks gurus of maxscript!

Hey metamesh, whasup?

There it goes:


vertArray = getVertSelection $

for verts in vertArray do
(
p = point()
p.pos = polyOp.getVert $ verts
)


if you want it to work with a mesh you just have to remove "polyOp." from the last line and it will work. I hope it helps.

see ya
