How to send code to the 3ds Max script listener

[mustafapassahci]

I want to send code to the 3ds max script listener for it to run. I thought it could be done by socket programming, but the threading Python module doesn't work in 3ds max. Therefore, when I try to listen to the message received with "while true" without threading, the program freezes. What should I do?

In MXS there exists an execute() function, which allows to run scripts. Also in C++ there's Interface->ExecuteStringScript()..

You could try the approach from this tutorial, which uses Qt for the server and ExecuteMAXScriptScript() to run the script.

Hope that helps,
