you can either use the global variable sliderTime or currentTime, or simply us a context:

sliderTime=5
with animate on (your code here)

at time 5 do with animate on (your code here)

Thank you its works

I have save all value of Camera002 in myTransform.
Assign this value to free camera which is made by script.

myTransform =$Camera002.Transform

In my script everything works fine.
No error.

When i add this script to (on came picked obj do(...))
Its give me error on line myTransform =$cam.Transform
"MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception: -- Unknown property: "transform" in undefined <<"

Find the script below...

Thanx

rollout pick_box_test "Pick Box Test"

(

--filter all objects of class Box:

fn box_filt obj = classof obj == Targetcamera

--Pickbutton to select a Box from the scene

pickbutton chooseit "Select Camera" width:140 filter:box_filt

--If the user picked an object, then

on chooseit picked obj do

(

--see if the user did not cancel the picking...

if obj != undefined do

(

--if he did not, make the box's wireframe red:

--obj.wirecolor = red

--and display the name of the object on the button:

chooseit.text = obj.name
cam = chooseit.text
print cam
---------------------------------*******************************
freecam = Freecamera ()---Create free camera

myTransform =$cam.Transform

freecam.transform = myTransform --align freecamera to main camera

select freecam

$.Target_Distance = $cam.targetDistance

$.parent =$cam --link free camera to main camera

posKey = $cam.pos.controller.keys --make an array of all keys
print posKey
--$Camera01.pos.controller.keys--returns array of position keys

animate on
(
for i = 0 to 500 do
(
select freecam
at time i $.Target_Distance = $cam.targetDistance
--m= posKey

)

)

)

)--end on

)--end rollout

createDialog pick_box_test

$cam refers to an actual object in the scene named "cam".

You need to use the variable obj, which is the node returned by the pickbutton.

Hi everyOne,

I have made script which copy all target distance of main camera
to free camera.Keys made on every frame.

But i try to make the key only made on main camere's key.
I make an array of all position key of main camera.
But cant success to move slider on that array's value.

animate on
(
for i = animationRange.start to animationRange.end do
(
select freeCam

at time i $.Target_Distance = $Camera002.targetDistance
$.fov = $Camera002.fov
)

)

How can i move slider at main camera's key and made free camera's key?

Thanx

keys = $Camera002.fov.controller.keys
frames = for k in keys collect k.time
for t in frames do
  at time t animate on
    $.fov = $Camera002.fov
