Debugging a scene

[JHN]

Ok,

It's not the floatwires, it's the custom attributes I have been using.

I have multiple CA's on objects which give the errors.
Could someone please try this on a simple object, save the scene and reopen it.


(

local WeightsSetup
WeightsSetup = attributes WeightsSetupCA
(
parameters main
(
oOffsetNode type:#maxObject
bOffsetNodeSwap type:#boolTab tabSize:3

p3DefPos type:#point3 animatable:false default:[0,0,0]

oWeightNodes type:#maxObjectTab tabSizeVariable:true
fXWeights type:#floatTab tabSizeVariable:true
fYWeights type:#floatTab tabSizeVariable:true
bSwap type:#boolTab tabSizeVariable:true

oXform type:#maxObject
)
)

em = emptymodifier name:#WeightsSetup

custAttributes.add em WeightsSetup #unique
custAttributes.makeUnique em WeightsSetup

addModifier selection[1] em

)



If I reopen the scene, I get the a fore mentioned errors, and it's totally driving me crazy, can't see what I do wrong here...

Thanks,

it's working fine for me Johan, :shrug: , and I can't see anything glaring in what you've written.

Even if you reopen the scene?
Could you assign it it 2 or more objects and save and reopen and tell me there's still no problem!?

Thanks,

must be something else J, still no issues with me. (BTW i'm running max2009 x64 SP1 on xpx64)

The only thing i see is this:

em = emptymodifier name:#WeightsSetup

custAttributes.add em WeightsSetup #unique
custAttributes.makeUnique em WeightsSetup

addModifier selection[1] em

so your defining a global empty modifier.
and you you adding your definition to it, so its global scope.
Then your making it unique. - I think this will throw an error. Theres something about making a global object unique it this context. (in max 8 anyhow)


I will test this at work and see if my theory is correct.

Pete, thanks(!) running same specs here... so it must be something with my setup.

Eek, I see what you are saying, but that's not the part that's throwing me errors. It's after reloading a scene and the assiging code doesn't come into play.

Thanks for checking!
