Hi All
I've wriiten a script that uses dialogs and works great from the editor.
I've now incorporated it into a macroscript with a filein command and things are not happening when they are supposes to.
my macroscript is
macroScript Render_Stills_360 category:"Aareas"
(
filein "O:\\Max Scripts\\Utilities\\Animator Scripts\\360RenderStills.ms"
)
my script is (or portion of script is)
global.........
rollout mergingfile " MERGING MODEL"
(
label lbl1
label lbl2 "MERGING MODEL" align:#center
label lbl3
)
merge_file_path = undefined
while merge_file_path == undefined do
(
merge_file_path = getOpenFileName caption:"SELECT FILE TO MERGE:" types:"Material(*.max)"
)
createdialog mergingfile width:250 style:#(#style_border, #style_titlebar) modal:false
mergeMAXFile merge_file_path #select #mergeDups
destroydialog mergingfile
What's suppose to happen is, 'mergingfile' dialog is displayed, file is merged and then the 'mergingfile' dialog is destroyed. This works in the editor.
When I run it as a macro, the 'mergingfile' dialog closes before the file is merged.
I believe the merging is happening on a seperate CPU thread.
Thanks in advance.
