| Very introductory Maxscript tutorial 2 |
 Nik Clark |
I much prefer to use maxscript/new rather than the listener. You can run the whole thing or individual chunks of code, and you can save your code. I presume Dub is coming to that.

I don't want to step on Dub's feet, so I'll not go into detail, but tools/maxscript/new. You get an empty maxscript in it's own window, which is much nicer than messing about with the listener to type code into.

:-)
I am more than happy for other maxscripters to contribute/ correct errors etc.
A lot of the stuff I'm doing isn't the only or best way to do things. I'm just trying to avoid complexity at this stage.
Please do make any suggestions you can think of Nik!

Ok, question : you got this code :
for obj in $ do
(
if (obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth] != undefined) do
(
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].iterations = 1
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].useRenderIterations = true
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].renderIterations = 2
)
)
Now, let's say I have no turbosmoothing. In order to create a turbosmooth fot the object, and apply the properties, my code would be :
for obj in $ do
(
if (obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth] != undefined) do
(
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].iterations = 1
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].useRenderIterations = true
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].renderIterations = 2
) else do (ob.modifiers[#turbosmooth]=true;
)
)
or ?
I have somewhat changed the fluffy avatar.

nah, the command to add a turbosmooth modifier is:
addModifier $ (Turbosmooth())

Leadmagnet is right. Also you don't need the last "do"
So it should look like this:
for obj in $ do
(
if (obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth] != undefined) do
(
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].iterations = 1
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].useRenderIterations = true
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].renderIterations = 2
)
else
(
addModifier obj (turbosmooth())
)
)

for obj in $ do
(
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].iterations = 1
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].useRenderIterations = true
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].renderIterations = 2
)
Works really fine
but whenever i tried to use
for obj in $ do
(
if (obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth] ! = undefined ) do
(
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].iterations = 1
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].useRenderiterations = true
obj.modifiers[#turbosmooth].renderIterations = 2
)
)
-- Syntax error: at ), expected < facto r >
-- In line: )

are you highlight selecting the whole lot before executing it?
if you just execute the last line, that is the sort of error you will get

sorry if you said that in your tutorial and i missed it.
wondered why none of the codes would work when i tried.
thanks
