Script on toolbar

jostroopers — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 12:46:41 GMT

I follow the tutorial on youtube: https://youtu.be/CFixg1t5UrM
However I get an error.
What am I doing wrong or missing something?

@istan Thanks, that was a letter mistake.
However, I still get an error. Are the names case sensitive?

mEsSaGeBoX "test123"

I was answering your question about case sensitivity by this:

You mean, you entered

mEsSaGeBoX "test123"

in the MXS listener and got the errors you posted in "Shift_Enter.zip" ?

I think these error were already there, before you entered the messagebox command? After startup of 3dsmax there will several scripts be called, some of them looks erroneous. Do you see the messagebox with the content "test123" ?

@istan I already now what the problem was.

I have to use Evaluate All.

Then i have to open Max again.

Then it works.
