I've written a MacroScript and I'm getting some strange behavior on installing it.
1. When the MacroScript is run (to install it) the first time, I assumed it'd wind up in C:\Program Files\AutoDesk\3ds Max #\ui\macroscripts. Instead it goes to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\9 - 32bit\enu\UI\usermacros. Is this the norm?
2. The macro is named Macro_Blahblah, but when it's loaded the name is changed to Object_Blahblah.
3. When the macro is first installed it runs just fine. When Max is closed and reopened, an error window pops up indicating that a couple of lines of code are missing. If the external macro file is run again, that fixes the problem for all successive closings-reopenings. It's always the same missing lines, which makes me wonder if that isn't what's the problem. It's an action for custom attribute button and reads as follows:
on btn_engage pressed do
(
this.targetedObject.rotation.z_rotation += 1
this.targetedObject.rotation.z_rotation -= 1
)
When code gets deleted it reads as follows:
on btn_engage pressed do
(
this.targetedObject.rotation.z_rotation +
In other words, when the button's pressed, a targetted object rotates one degree then rotates one degree back. Is this an illegal operation? Many thanks in advance.
