Loading Maxscripts Dynamically with pymsx

[andre.anjos]

Hi there,

I'm figuring out a way of dynamically building a Menu with python and maxscripts.

I manage to create the menu, submenus and even actions for the python scripts but not quite getting how to trigger the maxscripts.

Perhaps below can help? Just don't know what to add at the moment.

pymsx.runtime.execute(???)

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone have some experience with this?
Perhaps there is another way with Python?

Thank you in advance!

Hi there, you can execute MAXScript scripts using 'filein()', so something like this should work:

script = r'C:\My Documents\3ds Max\scripts\my_script.ms'
pymxs.runtime.filein(script)

Hope that helps,
